Koshed by a food cloche I laid half stunned, 
knowing only I'd not won that fight, try as I might. 

But an angry chef packs quite a heft,
and within reach he's more than enough to defeat 
all comers, especially such misnomers.

Koshed by a food cloche I laid half stunned 
knowing only I'd not won that fight, try as I might.
  
But an angry chef packs quite a heft, 
and within reach he's more than enough to defeat 
all comers, especially such misnomers

as us lowly waiters, only fit to carry plates, take orders 
from all front and back Lorders, never to talk back,
that's how I ended up taking this flack 
from the cook with the Devil's look, 
the Devil's rage, maybe Devil's sage...


All I know is I came a clobber 
when accused of being a robber 
on that dark and stormy night 
when my boss showed his might.

He sought to banish all those who famish
those who burn to make their victims squirm, 
who pull nails to make them tell tales, 
who startle, half drown, shock and pound. 

He sought to do this but met only their fists.

Lambaste!
Create a sickening paste.
Bombast! 
Batter his mongrel face!

Teach him not to squeal what he can't repeal,
Then send him out as waste.

Corridors, cloisters and classrooms became my lot,
Those and the broom were what I got
In the draw that decided things,
Like for whom we would be an underling.

Beyond the watershed our people fled, over the streams they teemed. 

Until in safety they found land across the North Sea's hand.

Our whole world turned rotten until it became, 
as we knew it, kaput, broken down and changed 
into something underneath a metal foot;
forever carrying their weight on our hips, 
living in a post-freedom apocalypse.

Oh my god, they had the power to gorgonize
throughout school the corridors were lined with boys
frozen solid and staring, fossilized - 
many were soon found to be malleable and became their toys.

So many thought that Hilfenschwein were sequacious to wizards: 
Lokmani showed that knowledge was kept precious in their gizzards,
Locked away safe from harm until the time came to use safely as arms.

It might be mawkish but my greatest wish is to return to the days I yearned for nothing more than towers of smores.
