Ode to My Brethren, Elwood and Donnie
There’s one in every generation
Menace to the population
Of Elwood, Donnie and Me
It’s the same demon we see
Elwood’s was friendly
Donnie’s was scary
Mine’s a mixture of the two
He comes up behind me
Shows up in blank TVs
But there’s nothing real bad he can do
I can control mine
At least I think
It’s an inflated ego that makes mine shrink
And the others became servants
But mine serves no purpose
Other than to make me shrink from dark places
And be wary of faces
That are meaner than mine
I guess it’s the same
Demon the three of us find
Facing all of the time
But together we’re fine
Where they’ve been all my life
I really don’t know
But we face the same demons
Wherever we go
I’ll see you in Wonderland
When I make it there
Elwood and Donnie
And all our march hares

Before you ask, Elwood and Donnie are only brothers in spirit. But I feel we bond, through something very distinct.
