A satire
A SATIRE
Benny Scissorhands delights in seeing a lunch well cut
He's more impressed with himself for stealing the girl
Than he is for getting off her undies!
There's a mathematical magic trick he performs when he snips
If you examine things closely you can identify all the little things that tickle his ego
When Friend ends up with no p*ssy that's one point
When he looks ridiculous in public there's another one
When he's forced to admit the story and concede the details time after time to every one in town there's another
He's even made to give confirmation over the hands free telephone in the car
That's not the only magic trick either
There's another one which transforms all 3 characters
Into actants in an eternal triangulating cosmic dance
Friend becomes ‘Prop', strange girl becomes ‘Confidante',
And Benny….BENNY becomes the Boy Charioteer
There's a whole golden stairway that appears
A yellow brick road
A magical rainbow bridge
Constructed with moonbeams, p*ssy-juice and embarrassment
And there goes Benny
Dancing on that bridge like a little prince on his way to the Butterfly Ball
