yeT I gUess the appropriate institutiOns simplifY horseplaY

The Carousing Duck is a zimzalla object (2014 ish): even its title is more a convenience than a fact. It was made by Tim Allen, with Tom Jenks providing the stylings I suppose.

It's possible to extract a text from the bewildering object, so here are some lines. I'm not going to bother about the upper case letters (because if I did I wouldn't be able to use predictive text).

giggling when getting in the maze but soon gets serious
the stately home is on fire boom go the windows
however sorry for the entire orchestra is conductor only
taunt the passionless with a throat sands run through

i'll be late indeed and not because i'm ill or anything
divided the day war broke out with bystander's standards
secondary mod school duped then tooled in development
layers of beauty beneath which a witch on aspirin

i guess the water filtered through the knot on a yacht
transparent institution or just a filigree of swimmers
thinking for example of them ears that walls have
ain't a soliloquy what warps them what hear shouted out

the hearse filled with petrol while we filled with tears
days turned into the library car park quite seriously
motifs, action plans, misrepresentative commas, drift ice
the only period in history i haven't an o'level in

The book or object or poem has something to do with Bob Dylan's version of "Froggy went a-courtin'".


A lily-white duck came and swallowed him up, uh-huh...
