Dual Shrub Mountain

The loutish dauphin waltzes downcourt
The bastard emerges, subdues his mirth
Sovereign over the CD store
Phone line tethered to wall, usurped
by the tutor
The brothers assume the quadrille
Who is this socky person anyway?
Keep your cap on, consummation
Crash course in
polite conversation
Magnetism heart line polarity
Kiss me into zest!
The queen consort cheerleads
The clergy crosses the moat
to play the radical nobility
but the bus breaks down
I don’t care where they get off,
I don’t like it like this
