Anyone For Go? (A Nonsense Rhyme_

Go ahead, scum: make my day! 
The Gobi, dry as dust...? No way!
Why Beckett’s Go-carts rarely go...?
They’re tired of waiting for Godot
to yodel “Go Down Moses”…no...?
No mangoes. No papayas, too...?
Then go for broke: try honeydew!
To Go-gos goes our dancing Jim,
like Gog and Magog ante him.
Go, Jimbo! Go hard to that rim!
“Go in and out the window”...? Yep!
Chicago jazz buffs scat that step.
They’ve raced – Goku and Superman –
in Golan and in Kazakhstan.
(Golightly...? Holly also ran.)
If Gomer Pyle’s a baritone, 
perhaps his gonads aren’t his own.
Let’s all go o’er the fiscal bluff
like Pogo Possum – in the buff,
or Gopher Pyle, who plies, “Enough!”
Go quietly...? Give up the ghost...?
Not Edward Gorey: he’d riposte.
Give up the ghost...? Not Edward G.,
our go-to guy for drollery.
(That man’s got milk – goat’s milk has he.)
“Go ugly late,” Govinda ‘llows.
“Works fine when eyin’ eine’s fraus.”
So says the lama under vows,
the actor (“Well played: take your bows!”),
or else the god who herds the cows.*
     * Lama Govinda (1898-1985), actor 
Govinda Ahuja (1963-   ) or Krishna’s young 
cowherding avatar Govinda.
Go west, Herr Doctor! Drive that ox!
(Like Seuss, I choose to box my Gox
while shabbous goyim shed their clothes.
How shall you know 'em...? Note their...hose.
(I guess Go’zilla’s one of those.)
