Uncle Tommy's Great Design

lyrics

Where is Joe?
Where did he go?

The probable probability is probably improbable.
The provably unprovable is unprovably probable.
The conceptually conceptualised is conceptionally conceptual.
Destructive deconstruction is constructively constructive.

To understand understanding requires understanding understanding.
A conscious consciousness is conscious of consciousness.
A tautological tautology is tautologically logical.
A tautological logicality is tautologically illogical.

An illogical tautology is tautologically logical.
A focal locus is locally focussed, unlike a locally focussed locus.
A resounding resumption rebounds with assumption.
An assuming assumption assumes no resumption.

A reflected reflection reflects all reflections.
A mirrored mirror mirrors all mirrors.
A mystical mystic is mystically mysterious.
A clerical cleric bureaucratically bound.
A deflated inflation deflates the inflated.

We can’t find Joe.

Fantastical fantasies fantasise about fantasy.
A romantic romance is romantic by chance.
The statistical stats of statisticians in hats, owning cats
Is equal to the sequel of the sum of the thumbs they keep toasted in corporation vats.

Ha!

The statistical probability of probable statistics is probably the problem of statistical mystics.
Resoundingly pounding a pound that you found will result in the pounding rebounding.
His clinical majesty is cynically, tragically bound to impound
All felons with mellons who currently use currency they abuse.

I had a stint at the mint, with a fellow called Clint.
With all that I ought to be taught he was fraught with the thought that I might whilst out of his sight take fright and then flight,
Myself to a realm at the helm and overwhelm the seasons of reason,
Where all decorous pendulous unctuous and wondrous,
Compunctions of functions, the ablations of nations!

I see you Joe.

The latest sample has refused to conform to the calculations performed at the appropriate forms and in the dorms the corns are rising like tides of the adorned.

I pulled the sun with a hanky to my pocket
I’d only begun because you had that nice locket
With the picture of Sammy and the one that Joe took
Don’t you remember you had it in that little book
The one he gave you when he started to say
That he was sorry for everything and being away
When the baby was tragically, ultimately born
Into a world where the innocent cannot be kept warm

Encouraging signs,
not discouraged by minds
Inclined to be blind
And greased up by time
I’m about to define
The great design

Like all musicians I wished I had the same number of limbs as an octopus. My wish was granted, but not in the way I had hoped for. My cephalopod partner is an enthusiastic volunteer from the worldwide animal charity Save Humans From Themselves. We share a special kind of love. ... more
