I Miss the 'Stute

 

By Vincent VanGogh

 

I miss the ‘Stute, I can't refute,

This outside life just don't compute.

The love ain't there, the people stare,

But I can't find the ‘Stute, anywhere...

 

I longed to sneak an outside peak,

Yes, life inside had seemed so bleak.

Worked at Wal-Mart, wudn't too smart,

They couldn't appreciate my art.

 

So I came back, hadn't lost track...

Of those who loved Van Gogh, the crack.

But, lo, the woe, I just wanna know -

Where the hell did the ‘Stute go?

 

Nuts here! Nuts there!, Nuts everywhere!

Nuts on the ground, Nuts in the air.

ONE FLEW OVER, two ducked under,

The rest tore the whole place asunder.

 

JUSTIN KASE you don't think it's true,

I warn you JUSTIN THYME, I do...

I see a mad woman with a hatchet,

Yes, indeed, it seems you pissed off CRATCHET.

 

Yes, you best go, and take PABLO,

You know he's getting kinda slow.

I'll search for ol' LEONARDO,

And that loser, MICHELANGELO.

 

Be cool, be trite, stay out of sight.

Let's all meet at Wal-Mart tonight.

Indeed me thinks something here stinks,

And it ain't left over sausage links.

 

Hey, that reminds me, where's the MOOSE?

Ah, he best have a good excuse...

No, Someone's behind what happened here,

Me thinks the Moose, and Balladeer!

 

 

Pablo

 

Hey, Vince! What's the problem?

You don't see us here?

Or do you not hear us,

since you've got no ear?

 

Hey, Vince! Hey, wassappenin'?

It's Pablo here, but

you never got out!

No, Vince, you're a NUT!

 

You're stuck here with us,

you can like it or not!

If it were up to Cratchet,

you'd be here to ROT!

 

You never got out.

You're NOT out! You ain't!

So sit yourself down,

and hand me the PAINT!

 

You're STILL in the 'Stute,

it's true, don't cha know?

You loony ol' coot!

They won't let YOU go!

 

your friend,

It just can't be. It just can't be,

Me thinks me smells conspiracy.

The 'Stute is gone, this much I know

You must be in on it too, Pablo,

 

 

Pablo

 

Justin Kace you hadn't noticed,

the 'Stute is not on top--

It's gone from Open Poetry

and moved to the Workshop.

 

The Fictional kind, dear Vince, my friend.

So come on back and join right in.

'Cause Mona got stuck in Analysis (YES!)

the Critical kind, I guess.

 

So, we're off now to find the Wizard.

Wherever he might be!

Unless we get stuck in a blizzard

of the 'Stute insanity!

Nurse Crachet

 

When will you all learn, bashing Nurse

Crachet can only fly you backwards.

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

Was there a place I did not know

Where loonies are suppose to go

A Place they called the 'Stute?

 

Cause with Vincent and Pablo

Leonardo and Angelo

The 'Stute sounds like a hoot!

 

And there's Kase and Thyme

Each doing their rhyme

There's a real couple of coots!

 

But there's a nurse I here

That you don't want too near

'Cause your arse will get the boot!

 

 

Nurse Crachet

 

You all are pathetic, denying you all are here.

Roll call every morning lists all your names,

and every room is occupied. Now Andrew

Scott you've come to say that your confused

to where you are supposed to be. Have you

forgotten all your talks with the white coats.

I will discuss with Dr. Moose about your

regimen. I'm sure we can accommodate.

 

 

Vincent VanGogh

 

Welcome Sir Andrew, have you just come

to visit or will thoust be staying awhile. Be

warned...whatever the case is...don't eat

the meatloaf... (Rumors of ears and toes

and the like abound). Also, Balladeer has

been seen conversing with Cratchet...

me thinks somethin is up!!!

 

 

Justin Thyme

 

Andrew! You have snuck out again!

That room with bars can't hold you in!

You found the PC at the 'Stute!

(the Passions house of *PILL* repute.)

 

Yes, they give pills for EVERYTHING!

They clog your head, make your ears ring!

So, my advice to you would be,

(just let me know if you agree)...

 

Stay clear of Cratchet, she's a jinx,

no matter what Balladeer thinks.

But most of all, I'll tell you NOT

to tell the Doc your name is Scott!

 

They do not like impostors here,

so tell the truth, and DO be clear!

Your name is Wyeth, true enough,

so don't pretend! They'll call your bluff!

 

They'll shoot your head hard with a zap!

They'll tell you they'll not take the crap!

They'll realize you're lying then

They'll lock you in a little pen!

 

So tell the truth, and don't you lieth!

You are the painter, Andrew Wyeth!

 

-Leonardo DaVinci

Super Painter

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

Toe in the meatloaf I can understand...

that guy is always poking around...

But Sir Balladeer and Nurse C?

I don't think she bleets enough.

Besides Balladeer's my friend...

we fought in the dreaded Fruit

Wars together... he was right there

by my side squashing melons with

the best of them.... There was Mr.

Cucumber and Arti the Choker and

so many others... but they're all gone

now, gone I say... to that great

produce stand in the sky... God what

a slaw-ter it was. As for staying... I've

got an appointment at 2 to see a lady

about her dog Fluffy.

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

Andrew Wyeth? Was he a finger painter?

Or was he that famous painter of fingers?

Didn't he do the one "Read Between the

Lines?" And how about "Talk to the Hand"

and the "Fickle Finger of Fate." Oh ya...

and the Siscal and Ebert "Thumbs."

I heard he really hated doing that one,

cause of course he was a real finger man!

Me? No... that's not me! BAM! Hey!

Stop hitting me! That hurts! Yah... my

name’s Andrew...Andrew Scott! BAM!

BAM! HEY! Stop it! Sorry man but I

gotta go.... BAM!

 

 

ONE FLEW OVER

 

Don't do it Scott,

or is it Andrew,

or is it Hazardous,

or are they right,

and you are Wyeth.

 

Don't meet her here,

don't meet her there,

don't meet her anywhere.

 

Avoid her if you can,

avoid her invisible crayon,

and if at all possible

avoid riding in her van.

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

Dude! FLEW!

I remember you!

You did fly over re-con

in battle over Melon

 

Don't worry for me Fly Boy

Cause I've got this here toy

I got it from Agent Q

And here's what it will do

 

It slices and dices

and makes Julian fries

But more important

It cuts through all of her lies

 

I'll know when she's ziggin

I'll know when she's zaggin

There ain't know way

She'll get me in the back of that wagon.

 

As for "C"s colorless crayon

I've got an assorted attack

of eight beautiful colors

From the Crayola Fat Pack

 

I'm armed to the teeth

And the Nursey's going down

So I'll be on way just as soon

As I find my damn hospital gown

 

Fly High, Buddy! Fly High...

 

 

 

Dr.Moose1

 

I've been away, or so I think

Agoraphobic, on the brink

Though outside beckons, 'tis not for me

The 'Stute offers, security

Not to mention, artists grand

Many who, will lend a hand

Or ear, or toe, or body part

This should not end, 'tis just the start

So power up, the therapy juice

All that voltage, will make you loose

All the better, don't you see

For the Mambo, Waltz, or Wa-tu-si?

 

 

Pablo

 

Hey, Moose! I thought they tossed you out!

Out on your ear, they said.

Oh no, excuse me I am wrong.

T'was Vincent they tossed, instead.

 

But out on his ear was hard to do,

considering that it was gone.

But they *did* pick him up

and throw him out

right in front of the guard on the lawn.

 

Well anyway, I've gone off again.

Off on a tangent, I guess.

But I'd sure like to see ol' Andrew's machine!

So we can make Cratchet a MESS!

 

A slicer? A dicer? Well, what's not to like?

It sounds lots of fun, don'tcha think?

(But keep it from Vince 'cause you never know,

he's hovering over the brink).

 

sincerely yours,

 

Pablo Picasso

Nurse Crachet

 

Andrew Wyeth you crazy man

vegetables clog the fan

I can't believe

you take me to be naive

not to know your plans.

Your laughing with the best

so I must fail your test

no coffee at two

I've got a new flu

so it's time to take a rest.

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

That ain't no flu

My little Nurse "C"

That's the Andrew Scott's

Double Hex Curse see!

 

Snub me and see

How much worse it gets

Sneezing and fever

Are just the first of your fits

 

I'll soon have your face

In the porcelain pot

Giving that toilet

Everything that you got

 

And when you're all done

You'll be looking for your ears and nose

Cause you'll swear they're down the drink

Right along with you fingers and toes.

 

And by they way! Weyth paints with his fingers!…

Do I look like I paint with my fingers? NO!

I don't paint at all! Now… if you want to

talk about crayons I'm your man… in the lines…

over the lines… heck! even on the lines.

Wax is my gig! I don't know who this Weyth

guy is and I don't want to know him. He

paints "fingers" for God's sake! What kind

of artist is that? WAX! That's the way to

go… hot melting wax… hmmmmm…

yesssss… hot… melting… waxxxxxxxxx.

 

 

Nurse Crachet

 

How foul of me

to think that you

would paint fingers.

Since wax is your art

the floors here

could use your expertise.

On your hands, and knees

would do just fine

be sure not to miss

the cracks, and crevices.

My ailing of the flu

have nothing remote

to do with you.

Was just an excuse

for fear of abuse

from a strange recluse

with the likings of you.

When your done with the floors

you can then stain the doors

with colors of your choice.

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

Nurse "C" has made a grave mistake

The custodian for me to take

'Cause on hands and knees to clean I'll not go

 

You see it's crayons I do carry

With oh so many colors pretty

That paraffin sure can make things glow

 

Melt it on down to its liquid form

Add some chemicals from kitchen norm

You got instant sticky fire that can flow

 

I'll color all the walls and floor

And don't you worry about that door

'Cause I got special sticks to make it blow

 

So gather all your paint my boy

This crayon eight pack ain't no toy

It's almost time that we begin this show

 

That Nurse Crachet we'll cook her goose

We'll also fry that Doctor Moose

As for everything else, just bill my HMO

 

 

Justin Thyme

 

I'm with ya! Go for it, dude!

 

 

Dr.Moose1

 

Do not attempt, to change your set

Andrew Scott, you are all wet

To think that you, could cook my goose

Me-thinks you've got, a few screws loose

I'm here to say, I got here first

So if you want, just do the nurse

But should you lust, for bigger game

Do not trifle, with my name

This will not do, 'tis not allowed

I'm one of you, and of this proud

So 'fore we both, waive thoughts to chance

Is there one of you, who cares to dance?

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

My mistake Doctor Moose

For I thought you part of the staff

With a name such as yours

Surly you understand my gaffe

 

But now that I know

You are a member in trust

Perhaps you can help me

As I get ready to bust

 

Out of the 'Stute

Mal-mart is where I must go

I hear they got new crayons

And prices marked way down low

 

I'll buy all of their stock

Every last beautiful stick

Then I'll melt them all down

To a gel that's nice and thick

 

Then back to the 'Stute

Where I'll smear it all about

Strike that fiery match

And listen for the Nurse-C's shout

 

So come on all you guys

Lets go paint the town

I've got crayons to buy

And Nurse-C's goin' down

 

Oh, and Dr. Moose

If your cards not taken

I'd love a dance

To the smell of bacon

 

 

Andrew Scott

 

What? Did I scare ya! Here NurseC, NurseC,

NurseC... Anybody home? Or do I get

this place all to myself?
