The Amber Tambourine

The time machine on your finger
Is an ancient instant messenger
Of insects and reptiles and zingers
Of Laura and Adam Schlessinger

The cafe at the edge of the continent
The 6th planet from the sun
The seaside town of daunting rent
And coin operated shot guns

The sloths and coatis so clever
Stingless bees and lizards green
All play the same song forever
On the amber tambourine

Chocolate old fashioned or long johns
Orange Buzzz or Tropicoool
Be careful, don't pick the wrong one
Or fall from the tadpole's pool
