Cobblestones

It just

Aint

Anymore

What it once was

When the narrow

Misty streets promised

So many tomorrows

When the cobblestones

Still looked so foreign

Today

Only the beer

Is just as good

(maybe even better!)

Than it ever was

So,

Yes,

I’ll have another

Please

Compensation

We, the midget-men

While fighting for our lives

In the gutters, the swamps

Are wasting our time

Painting bullseyes

On the groins

Of retarded presidential candidates

As their ugly sons

Wielding deadly

Iron penises

Take aim on the innocent

Before golfing at daddy’s country club

And a quick rape or two

Before dinner and a scotch

The severed groins of the super-rich

Collect themselves in their

Church of choice

And demand our submission,

Our prayer for our own sacrifice

As we dine on our own innards

They conspire and plot

Huddled in their heated havens

And hatch more ugly vermin

To compensate

For their loss of genitalia

Tenses

Rapidly pushing sixty, and

Zipping along in my cool, French

Electric car

It hits me:

My dad is gone now

Tom took his own life awhile back

Frank died years ago

Jerry Garcia, Frank Zappa

John Lennon

Hundertwasser

So many of my heroes are already gone

Neil Young and Roger Waters

Are still hanging in there though

And Paul McCartney is way past

Being sixty-four
