RARA-AVIS: Re: Killers, And The Poets Who Know Them,

Doesn't really "scan," does it?

Here's a revised version:

There's a killer on the street With the brains of a parakeet. There's a killer on the avenue
(You've heard about him, haven' you?); Brain's squirmy, like a girl I knew. There's a killer on the thoroughfare, Yup, crazy like a March hare.

You see, this killer that I know, He's shaggy like a buffalo
(Just think of it, the *stuff* I know!); What's more, he stinks ... the ol' so'n'so ...

********* Picking up the gauntlet:

There's a killer on the street, his brain is feathery like a parakeet. There's a killer on the avenue, his brain is squirming like a girl I knew. There's a killer on the thoroughfare, his brain is crazy as a March hare (note the pretentious literary allusion). There's a killer that I know, his hair is shaggy as a buffalo.

OK, that's about all I can think of right now. If there's a strong demand, I'll try and come up with some new ones.
