Swiss Yodeling and Yoko
i try and be decent by humoring children complaining about their grade school teachers or how mommy doesn't and can't buy them enough of what they want i try to be decent by humoring the very old complaining about the food and quality of films showing in their nursing home on movie night i humor even though there's little i can do i humor knowing and because there's not much they can do about it either but i can't be decent humoring those who aren't children or infirmed who need to be humored like children or the infirmed with their tired complaints insights and stories about nothing i've tried being decent tried humoring it for a while for the sake of being polite tried humoring it like the A side of a swiss yodeling record or any yoko album or the first 30 minutes of a catholic mass tried humoring it gracefully but there's a limit to one's tolerance there's a limit when the cackling's too much when the ability to humor a droning sermon even with the candles and smoke and cracker hits a brick wall too much after 30 minutes once in a month let alone every day but they want and need the yodeling or yoko's terrible tunes for hours and hours like corn on the cob without butter and salt or coffee without cream or sugar knowing without them i get my coffee and corn precious things the way i want them but it's always their way so i turn my mind to sand same as the body reacting to infection by fever the only way of dealing with the incessant noise of saying and doing absolutely nothing and knowing the next time at a funeral wake were the yodelers are more dead than the one in the casket or a banquet or over holiday dinner whatever the gathering it's gonna be swiss yodeling or yoko all over again the same old tunes same old song and dance as the sayings go knowing it for what it is 5 seconds into a story already told a dozen times at funeral wakes banquets over holiday dinners knowing this time this funeral it's still and always gonna be yodeling or yoko all the time every time cause there's never anything else i try to be decent by humoring children and the infirmed but for the life of me i can't humor the others who bring nothing else but yodeling and yoko every single fucking time can't humor for the life of me those who aren't children nor the infirmed who ought to know better
