Skunk Eye Spar
The tiki gods of the Tiki Gods
were spotted out behind
the little shanty tarpaulin
of a little land-locked bar
where strangers of the universe
are widely-known to find
their sips of solace in crazed cups
in a spot called Skunk Eye Spar
There's Tiger Lily at a low settee
with her chubby Chinese chums.
They're flirting with the spider monkey
who tends to tend the bar.
The kahuna from the basement
carves the teeth away from gums
of the skulls they leave upon the floor
of rugged Skunk Eye Spar.
NightHawk and the Vaginauts
are haggling for their custom
in the shadow of a bamboo go-down
behind a cliff of vines.
The grotesquerie of mugs that haunt
the fringes of the dive
monitor their odds
for any luck between the lines.
Foolbert Hic-Pipkin drinks
his beans from a can, then
tosses the empty vessel
back into the lonely sea of stars,
and joins the rumbling mumbling
of the life assembled there
for some unforgettable taste of beauty
from inside those ugly jars.
The White Devil is holed up there
and he'll never get too far
from the bleary scowls and robotic owls
of this long-forgotten bar.
White Devil is holed up there
'cause he knows he won't get far
past the reprobates he cultivates
in Skunk Eye Spar...
...where you can hear the oceanic echo of outer space...
Popeye and B'wana Don
were here when things were newer:
before the fall, before the wall,
before the inner scar.
Jimgrim and Chullunder Ghose
mapped the span of tomorrow
from that table in the corner, there,
converging from afar.
The tiki gods of the tiki gods
are hovering out behind
the little ratty tarpaulin
of a tiny land-locked bar
where the loners of the universe
are sometimes said to find
a sip of solace with the crazed mugs
of Skunk Eye Spar.
The White Devil is holed up there
and he'll never get too far
from the furtive scowls and alien owls
of his long-forgotten bar.
White Devil is holed up there
'cause he knows he won't get far
past the reprobates they cultivate
down in Skunk Eye Spar.

Conchsuckers
I tumbled out of my hammock this morning
and I stumbled through the high grass
and as I peered in through my own back window
I caught a brief glimpse of my past.
You jumped up off me
and spilled all your coffee
and the man that was me upped and fled.
It kinda upset me,
my appetite left me
so I came on back out to my shed.
I thought about all of our years together,
all the things we never have done.
Oh how I wish we could trade all the misery
for the times we had so much fun.
I guess that it's over.
I'm back to the rover
you once hauled in from the beach.
I give you my blessin'
and thanks for the lessons
you were always so ready to teach.
Conchsuckers is where you will always live
in my mind and my memories.
Conchsuckers was always our secret place,
a ramshackle dive in the Keys.
I'm leaving you everything I have
to give, like I always do.
I hope he's eager to learn
conchsucking too.
Conchsuckers is where you will always live
in my heart and my memories.
Conchsuckers is everyone's secret place,
a ramshackle dive in the Keys.
I took out the garbage and did all the household chores
that you had asked me to do.
I mowed your lawn, I did all your laundry,
and even some of his too.
I wish you the both the very best
and the child you'll be giving birth to.
I hope he's ready to learn
conchsucking too.
