When Three Dog Night wrote Celebrate!
they knew they’d sell the rights,
would dance to the music
dance to the music
down to the bank.
They couldn’t know
instead of Cadillac or Vizeo
their music would introduce the inhibition
of prostaglandin synthesis,
decreasing activity of cyclooxegenase-2.
Nice to hum that little ditty
on the road to Shambala
without a wince or limp.
To open, close your hand
easily as your father’s
when he cupped a new quarter
in his warm palm
just for you.
