All the World Is Desolation
All the world is desolation
Sad and quiet as the tomb.
Father has a penile stricture,
Mother has a droopy womb.
Sister Amy was aborted
For the forty-second time;
Cousin Hymie was deported
For a homosexual crime.
All the world is desolation
In our family, no one smiles.
All we do for recreation
Is crack ice, for Grandma's piles.
