From The Song Collides, published by Anvil Press in 2011.

Have you heard the one about the travelling St. Peter
who put velcro tape on a rooster’s ass then jumped
from the top of the Empire State building into a herd
of elephants wearing suspenders until Tarzan took off his
sunglasses the better to see a chicken dart into the roadway
and in the meantime the farmer’s sons have been digging a hole
in a field discussing hamsters wrapped in electrician’s tape
and every few minutes one of them steps outside the circle
to screw in a light bulb so the sunburned penguin turns to
the American and says, “You know, Superman, sometimes
you can be a real prick.”
