After the musical orgy...

the carnage."

Sexual activity

is millions of years old,

so nothing's new under the sun.

AIDS is not the result

of the Sexual Revolution.

Its the face of mankind on a planet

incapable of regeneration.

The ravages of over industrialisation

are like Kaposi's sarcoma.

The planet's lungs are sick.

Its defences were destroyed

before those of man.

He wasn't cremated.

At his death

his folks came running.

His mother wept and wept.

Learning their son's friend

had his flat keys,

they quickly changed the lock.

So his friend couldn't fulfil

his last wishes

Next stop; Midtown,

See the snow yesterday?

- Weird, with the trees in bloom.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Im going to brighten your trip

with a song.

It may be the same old tune

that you heart me and again

But it still makes lovers swoon

and consoles the loner's pain

No poem can match it

for warmth and simplicity

Remember how you courted me

by composing a ditty

There's so much love going around

Put your hand in mine

But love will someday run aground

Why wait to taste the wine?

In the tiny room,

Johnny and June

Are in a cocoon

lost in their bliss

There's so much love going around

Its something not to miss

There's so much love going around...

Remember the young man

who stared at women's shoes?.

He was after the perfect female foot.

In time

his penchant became a mania.

When l find the perfect foot,

Ill marry its owner.

Don't wear yourself out.

Keep your feet white and pretty.

l don't know where to turn.

l examined hundreds of feet

l even worked in a shoe store'.

l met princesses with dream faces

and superb bodies.

l tried everything humanly possible.

l loved a dancer

with a voluptuous figure.

My pet dancer...

Why do women's feet repel me so?

Where is the foot of my dreams?

All you'll find here

are feet with deformities, calluses

corns and so on.

Still, you've raised a thorny problem :

No one, especially a woman,

has normal feet these days.

Let me show you...

Flat feet due to a sagging

fifth lumbar vertebra,

the result of wearing high heels.

Alux valgus from birth,

never corrected.

Effects on the toe

of a spinal curvature.

Ill spare you the details.

l also treat smelly feet

often belonging, my dear sir,

to very pretty women.

Enough, enough!

Don't flaunt

your vile profession.

l come to you seeking, advice,

an orientation

and l met a perverse technocrat

cynically reeling off horrors.

Civilisation has killed the foot.

But you can find the perfect foot.

Search among girls

of more modest backgrounds.

Girls who walk barefoot, for example.

But Im afraid

you may not be simple enough

to see where things are hidden.
