Pirates decorate the Deacon’s Christmas window. It is a season herded
into a season
- as Goofy smokes one last
Craven A and hits the funway. “One Last Smoky Autumn” plays
- and through the animated
moraine Goofy walks toward home. And Hester.
-
-
He is carrying his famous furrier’s knife & his pastry hooks &
his bread rifle—
- up the laughing grassy knoll
& into one more Mickey Lecture on the patio.
- Who is barking & who is
squeaking & who is quacking at the moon? Not I.

There are holograms of swamp pigeons pecking at a gas-suit
- and at amphetamine-laced prom
gown. Then there are the CyberPicts
- hiding within the beamed
shadows of the partially-completed Pict Galaxy.

-
And Mombo Manta hides Arthur’s udder balm in the midge-nest
- as Mickey’s private sun
becomes a midge-nest and is left behind
- to bake our solemn dogskin
into ashtrays for the kids.

-
The Visitors must wear reflective pants to walk up the laughing grassy
knoll
- past the Jabbering Rose
Trestle & into one more Mickey Lecture on the patio.
- Riflestocks & rum.
Riflestocks & rum. Riflestocks & rum.

Meanwhile—Donald’s chafed, his senses are a fowling-piece
- squeezing out tinny symphonies
into the tinny Matterhorn’s
- cone of neurotic sparrows. The
Reticent Rat is drunk upon witch hazel & vaseline.

-
There is a wolf in the bookroom and Pluto knows his name.
- Goofy has run off to meet
Whitey the Cop.
- He is carrying his famous
furrier’s knife.

-
Beauty’s cousin Bustle steps up with a cypress cricket bat
- & her riveted chrome &
cypress sniffing guard dog.
- Come on down from that tree,
you little sugared devil.
-
-
Show’s over, Smoky Stover. Go and mop up after the Visitors.
- Scrub down smooth and lock
away the Muppet Clydesdales.

Goofy
has run off to meet Whitey the Cop.
