Purple Reign

I am Lesotho, King of Nigeria.
Nigeria is no mere peninsula.
Come Christmastime, it is an isthmus
And when it rains, it pours.

It never rains in Africa

It never rains on Hanukkah

My harmonica is ensconced in velvet.
So plush.
So lush.
So much
for any fabric besides velvet

Soft as cake
fallen into a velveteen lake
eating velveeta cheese
with baked beans.
Stay lean

Stay mean for mean's sake
Drink sake if you mean well
Don't know what I mean? Well,
shit. Sorry sorry. Not sorry.
