Farmyard Fugue

This uncharacteristic poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS) was unpublished in his lifetime, and is not available on The Eldritch Dark, so here's the complete text:

Cockadoodle dooo!
Baa baa baa baa mooo!

Oink oink quack quack gobble gobble 

Christ bime it yer a lot of trouble

Baa baa baa baa mooo 

Move yer goddam leg back so I can milk yuh.

Cluck cluck baa baa baa baa

cluck cluck quack quack

puppies (From the cornfield) caw caw caw

The better squirt squirt squirt

Oink oink hee haw hee haw

Cluck cluck baa baa haw haw

Caw caw quack quack gobble gobble

Spit mraar mraar <ms. burned>

Hee haw hee haw

Hey but I heave a block a wood at these goddam cats

     mriaw spit spit mriaw

Mriar cluckity cluck brup brup mrioow

     Cluck cluck quack quack pegs pegs mooo

Spit mriair spit mriow

     mooo

Cockadoodledoooo.

"Farmyard Fugue" would appear to be another parody of modernist poetry, with its tendency to write about everyday subjects and to use words phonetically.  It's no wonder CAS chose not to publish this one, since it's a decidedly minor effort when evaluated from any angle.
