Spectrums To Illustrate Post-modern Shopping

by WWombat


Warning: This work has been rated 18+ for language.

Found it on a shopping trip

It's an ancient scroll from communist China

CHIANG KAI-SHEK SHOPPING TROLLEY!
A HERD OF FUCKING REDS!
RUSH TO THE MAINLAND IN A PURPLE VEST!
I ate it like a monkey sod
Until it became a tiny little pod
MAO ZEDONG HAS THE ANSWER!
HAS THE DUNG BEETLE ON HIS SIDE!
REVOLUTIONISE CULTURE WITH A STINKY JIVE!


Post-modernism on Karl Marx's grave
Post-modernism on fuckie-offie lane
Post-modernism on the edge of the town
Oxford Street is crowded with frowns and shrouds


Bono can suck my free willy!


James Joyce rejoices like a happy camper
Ulysses and wake up in Finnegan's panties
"SLAN! SLANGA FOYLE!
NONSENSE! GOBBLEDIGUKE!"
Then the myriad reappears
Auntie Farty has some massive sheers
CHIANG KAI=SHEK SHOPPING TROLLEY!
SUN YATSEN OFF HIS BROLLEY!


Post-modernism on Karl Marx's grave
Post-modernism on fuckie-offie lane
Post-modernism on the edge of the town
Oxford Street is crowded with frowns and shrouds


Then we can chew
Then we can chew bamboo
The forbidden city ain't so shitty
Yet! It! Crumbles! DOWN!
WIPE OUT 1.2 BILLION OF THE RED, BLUE AND CERILE COMMUNISTS!


Post-modernism on Karl Marx's grave
Post-modernism on fuckie-offie lane
Post-modernism on the edge of the town
Oxford Street is crowded with frowns and shrouds


CHIANG KAI-SHEK SHOPPING TROLLEY!
CHIANG KAI-SHEK SHOPPING TROLLEY!
CHIANG KAI-SHEK SHOPPING TROLLEY!
I AM VERY UNIMPRESSED!

Hey, there. Here for a quick review :)

I'm loving all of the capitalization and exclamation points!

"Post-modernism on Karl Marx's grave
Post-modernism on fuckie-offie lane
Post-modernism on the edge of the town
Oxford Street is crowded with frowns and shrouds"
This chorus (is it the chorus?) is pure gold. Really enjoyed this one.

I like how you manage to take real-life events or historical figures and contort them into these lovely, outrageous lyrics. *claps* It takes a brave soul to put their lyrics out there, because no one really knows what the rhythm or intention is. It's all based on the meaning and the words themselves.

I reviewed the "Scarecrow Boogie Dance," that was in the green room. You are quite something. You show comical, lyrical talent, and it's like a breath of fresh air! (Especially on review day...)

Happy writing,

Kali Lennon

Hello, steampowered here for a review and to get this out of the Green Room! To be honest I’m not really sure how I’m supposed to review this and what kind of reaction you’re trying to go for here, but I’ll try my best.

Well, what can I say? This was certainly… interesting. It made slightly more sense than the last work of yours I reviewed, but I have to admit I was a little… lost. Do you have a tune in mind for this, and what kind of music would it be? I’m guessing it’s probably not mainstream…

This feels like an excited piece of music, and I can kind of imagine someone screaming those lines in all caps. I mean, it still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but then again some of Queen’s songs (such as Bohemian Rhapsody) don’t seem to make a huge amount of sense and they’re still popular. (I mean, I suppose you could analyse Bohemian Rhapsody, the same as you could analyse anything else, but I believe Freddy Mercury said it wasn’t supposed to make a lot of sense…)

I don’t know what this means, but this was definitely my favourite.

Auntie Farty has some massive sheers


Do you mean, “shears”?

I AM VERY UNIMPRESSED!


Unimpressed by what? Shopping? If this line is actually supposed to mean anything… eh heh heh. I’m really not sure. :P

So as I said before, I had no idea how to review this, but it was definitely interesting. Keep writing!

Hi,

No idea what to say! Honestly! And I am not really getting a clear sense either you love shopping or not (you probably do like).. um.. you know, never mind! Well I guess you just had a bad experience of shopping and you just expressed the wit or feelings and Well I am not getting a clear view of everything though it but a really out of the box poetry you did I guess. Just work on rhythmic pattern and I hope you are good at rap!

Oh by the way it is a super duper type of composition, keep it up. GOOD LUCK. And see ya!!
