Let's Make It Funky
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Who has the gumption.
With guts and spunk.
To spread a dysfunction.
As a life lived to have it function.
Done to want funk on them dumped.
Who has the right.
All day and night.
To defend moves they like.
And despise others moving,
In ways they dislike.
No one proves the use of common sense.
Paying the price for their kept ignorance.
With hands up,
They want it funky.
Hands down.
They love that funk.
To the left and the right.
All around to be found.
Let's make it funky.
Normalizing kept dysfunctions.
To the left.
And all around us to be found.
With hands up.
Let's keep it funky.
Hands down.
Let's keep that funk.
All over the World.
More funk to dump it.
Found!
Regardless of the price we pay.
Let's make it funky.
Everyday.
Let's keep it funky.
Anyway.
With a needing more funk.
To the left.
With a needing more funk.
To the right.
With a needing more funk.
On us dumped.
In sight.
Day and night.
To not get enough.
Regardless of the price we pay.
To stay...
FUNKY!
Living life to live it,
Dysfunctioned.
Can't live without that funk.
Can't live without that funk dumped.
Can't live without that funk.
Can't live without that funk dumped.
Living life to live it dysfunctioned!
