"Fuck that Good Night" #Poetry

When I hear of Dylan's rage
it doesn't matter much
since it was written for his father
and Dylan was drunk as fuck
He didn't rage at all
and the boozing fucking killed him
but now the ode he wrote
is some kind of sacred song

So we'll sing in praise of alcohol
and all that demon rum
God deliver us tequila
to seduce some lowlife crumb
Oh, we love to get fucked-up
so shit-faced we can't see
because then we can write
the damndest poetry

And people think it's real
I could write of fucking camels
how they dance in the desert moonlight
and sing to the stars' delight
In the future they would worship
the singing camels which were lost
and they'd weep and whine and cry
at the grinding personal cost
