The Colony Of Slippermen

The ArrivalRael:I wandered lonely as a cloud,Till I came upon this dirty street.I've never seen a stranger crowd;Slubberdegullions on squeaky feet,Continually pacing,With nonchalant embracing,Each orifice disgracingAnd one facing me moves to say "hellay"His skin's all covered in slimy lumps.With lips that slide across each chin.His twisted limbs like rubber stumpsAre waved in welcome say'Please join in.'My grip must be flipping,Cos his handshake keeps slipping,My hopes keep on dippingAnd his lips keep on smiling all the time.Slipperman:"We, like you, have tasted love.Don't be alarmed at what you see,You yourself are just the sameAs what you see in me."Rael:Me, like you? like that!Slipperman:"You better watch it son,your sentence has only just begunYou better run and join your brother John"A Visit To The DoktorSlipperman:"You're in the colony of slippermen.There's no who? why? what? or when?You get out if you've got the gripeTo see, Doktor Dyper, reformed sniper -he'll whip off yourwindscreen wiperRael:John and I are ableTo face the Doktor and his marble table.The Doktor:Understand Rael, that's the end of your tail.Rael:"Don't delay, dock the dick!"I watch his countdown timer tick....The RavenHe places the number into a tube,It's a yellow plastic "shoobedoobe"It says: "Though your fingers may tickleYou'll be safe in our pickle"Suddenly, black cloud come down from the sky.It's a supersized black birdthat sure can fly...The raven brings on darkness and nightHe flies right down,gives me one hell of a fright.He take the tube right out of my handsMan, I've got to findout where that black bird lands."Look here John, I've got to runI need you now, you going to come?"He says to me:John:"Now can't you seeWhere the raven flies there's jeopardy.We've been cured on the couchNow you're sick with your grouch.I'll not risk my honey pouchWhich my slouchwill wear slung very low"Rael:He walks away and leaves me once again.Even though I never learn,I'd hoped he'd showjust some concern.I'm in the agony of SlipperpainI pray my undercarriage will sustain.The chase is on, the pace is hotBut I'm running so very hardwith everything that I've got.He leads me down an underpassThough it narrows, he still flies very fast,When the tunnel stopsCatch sight of the tube, just as it drops.I'm on top of a banktoo steep to climbI see it hit the water just in timeto watch it float away...
