Reader response to the Hero contemplation
Now lemmee get this straight
You say
You’re tortured because you can’t write
Or
You can’t write because you’re tortured
You say
These times have made me cynical
Or
These times confirm your cynicism
Now lemmee say one thing
I’d rather rope steers
Than talk politics with you
I’d rather get skunk drunk
Under a goose-neck trailer
Your despair is more boring
Than The Merv Griffin Show
Your sniveling whine
Your dime-a-dozen solutions to crime
Get off your tail and cook
Do time
Anything
But don’t burn mine
