I. The ArrivalnnRael:nI wandered lonely as a cloud,nTill I came upon this dirty street.nI've never seen a stranger crowd;nSlubberdegullions on squeaky feet,nnContinually pacing,nWith nonchalant embracing,nEach orifice disgracingnAnd one facing me moves to say hellay.nnHis skin's all covered in slimy lumps.nWith lips that slide across each chin.nHis twisted limbs like rubber stumpsnAre waved in welcome say 'Please join in.'nnMy grip must be flipping,nCos his handshake keeps slipping,nMy hopes keep on dippingnAnd his lips keep on smiling all the time.nnSlipperman:nWe, like you, have tasted love.nDon't be alarmed at what you see,nYou yourself are just the samenAs what you see in me.nnRael:nMe, like you? like that!nnSlipperman:nYou better watch it son, your sentence has only just begunnYou better run and join your brother John.nnII. A Visit to the DoktornnSlipperman:nYou're in the colony of slippermen.nThere's no who? why? what? or when?nYou get out if you've got the gripenTo see, Doktor Dyper, reformed sniper - he'll whip off your windscreenwipernnRael:nJohn and I are ablenTo face the Doktor and his marble table.nnThe Doktor:nUnderstand Rael, that's the end of your tail.nnRael:nDon't delay, dock the dick!nI watch his countdown timer tick....nnIII. The RavennnHe places the number into a tube,nIt's a yellow plastic shoobedoobe.nIt says: Though your fingers may ticklenYou'll be safe in our pickle.nSuddenly, black cloud come down from the sky.nIt's a supersized black bird that sure can fly...nnThe raven brings on darkness and nightnHe flies right down, gives me one hell of a fright.nHe take the tube right out of my handsnMan, I've got to find out where that black bird lands.nnLook here John, I've got to runnI need you now, you going to come?nnHe says to me:nnJohn:nNow can't you seenWhere the raven flies there's jeopardy.nnWe've been cured on the couchnNow you're sick with your grouch.nI'll not risk my honey pouchnWhich my slouch will wear slung very low.nnRael:nHe walks away and leaves me once again.nEven though I never learn,nI'd hoped he'd show just some concern.nnI'm in the agony of SlipperpainnI pray my undercarriage will sustain.nThe chase is on, the pace is hotnBut I'm running so very hard with everything that I've got.nHe leads me down an underpassnThough it narrows, he still flies very fast,nWhen the tunnel stopsnCatch sight of the tube, just as it drops.nI'm on top of a bank too steep to climbnI see it hit the water just in timento watch it float away...
