IT’S ON THE HOUSE, PAL

The shadows in the barTaste waters of oblivion.Get out of your carAnd see what we’re living on.Come on, dude, take a seat.Let’s have a booze tonight.I betcha you gonna like it.Another regular’s in sight.His name’s Jack Daniels.Whom can you see here else?That guy over thereGoes by the name of Bud Weiser.He’s fallen from the chair,He would’ve not if he’d been wiser.The hot chap SmirnoffAlways says, “Buzz off!”,When you sit down next to him.At times his fist meets someone’s chin.And I’m Jimmy Beam.Now you’re in the stream.Here, gulp this shot o’whiskeyAn’ join our team.

CONFORMITY IS SUICIDE

I hate to be on the others’ sideAnd hide behind the wall.I said, “God-damn-it-all.”Conformity is suicide.

I LOCKED MY HEART

I locked my heartAnd threw away the key;I’ve played my part,What else should I be?I loved in vain,Love’s only pain.My soul’s a charade,I lost the title of a bard.Who else can I be?Who can set me free?You poked my eyes with a cue;I’m blind but I can seeI’ve always been a felo de se.

TIME ERASED MY NAME

Time erased my nameCompletely off its slate.No one is left who’d care about me,No one is left who’d hate.

LADY LUCK IS A CARD SHARPER

Lady Luck is a card sharper,And swell she deals.Her stakes are getting upper,
