‘Member that movie,

Beetlejuice?

yeah, well,

they made it…

with a goose.

But the Beetlegoose

It got Beetle-loooose!

and the fluffers and the fighters

and the bitchers and the biters

couldn’t call no truce.

And Michael Keaton never

nabbed no mousse.

And the miniature foliage

sure weren’t no spruce.

And Dr. Seuss

with his head

in a noose

mumbling,

grumbling,

“It could be woose!”

“It could be woooose!”

as screenwriters re-rained rewrites like panicky Prousts

and bent-over big-timers bet all but their butt toots!

and someone’s dog,

someone’s dog it

woofity-woofs:

“Beetle-goose,

“Beetle-goose!

“B-E-E-T-L-E  G–O–O–S–E!”

Yeah,

Beetlegoose

they made it,

they made it with a goose.
