A Simple Desultory Philippic |
| I been Normal Mailered, Maxwell Taylored. |
| I been John O’Hara’d, McNamara’d. |
| I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled will I’m blind. |
| I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded |
| Communist, 'cause I’m left-handed. |
| That’s the hand I use, well, never mind! |
| I been Phil Spectored, resurrected. |
| I been Lou Aldered, Barry Sadlered. |
| Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay. |
| And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce, |
| And all my wealth won’t buy me health, |
| So I smoke a pint of tea a day. |
| I knew a man, his brain so small, |
| He couldn’t think of nothing at all. |
| He’s not the same as you and me. |
| The doesn’t dig poetry. |
| He’s so unhip that |
| When you say Dylan, he thinks you’re talking |
| about Dylan Thomas, |
| Whoever he was. |
| The main ain’t got no culture, |
| But it’s alright, ma, |
| Everybody must get stoned. |
| I been Mic Jaggered, silver daggered. |
| Andy Warhol, won’t you please come home? |
| I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncled, |
| Ben Roy Haleed, and Art Garfunkled. |
| I just discovered somebody’s tapped my phone. |
