The Peanuts gang

was kinda nuts…

no doubt about it,

no ifs or buts–

–had issues, tissues

couldn’t clean,

just think of

Pig Pen’s constant mien.

That kid was filthy!

(trailer trash)

parents poor,

and strapped for cash—

no running water

where he dwelled,

a sty in eye–

a guy who smelled.

Consider next

the Linus fellow,

toted blanket

–belly yellow,

and educated though

he was–

he covered this,

in flannel fuzz.

It’s sure his sister

was no help,

in ridding bro’

of pilly pelt,

that Lucy chick

was thwarted, really,

aborting field goals

willy-nilly.

Casting Charles

as chump anointed,

to crash to grass

at kick-off point,

and play the fool

–a role he knew

at school that red-head,

dissed him, too.

Not Patty—sweet

she was on Chuck,

ostensibly

‘cause WTF?

was up with “Sir”

and gravelled tone–

–no candy cane

to call her own.

Yes, only mutt

lived high on hog,

a Woodstock fan

–was rockin’ dog.

Painting worlds

and flying loops,

’round Baron Red

did beagle: Snoops.
