do hornets like donuts?

even though nobody beats the beatles
as if cuteness was not a crime
a friend asked me once upon a time
do hornets like donuts?

what what's that, i said
gathering my head
sniffing about like
a hound

do hornets like donuts?
that's what she said
whatever could have been
going through her head
do hornets like donuts?
let's hope they do
at least more than me
koo koo ka chooo

do hornets like donuts...
do hornets like donuts?
do hornets like, donuts?
do hornets like donuts?

that is so Seuss
a thought in a noose
daring to hang
around

this is not Seuss
with meter too loose
daring to mock
a sound

what is this then
a poem of zen?
about what it's not
to be found

if hornets like donuts
then wasps might resign
to dine with an ant
on a mound

and somebody else asked does it astound?
as if the animaniacs themselves
were not profound
