When I was done, Fritz nodded and so

Did I, and the girls nodded, the cretin

Nodded and also the goniffs,

And we all resembled those

Plastic bar birds, pecking at their drinks.

Then Olive Oil took me upstairs

And her stomach looked

Like an aerial view of the jungle

From the top of boot hill, green

Lichen fringes aronnd red swatches

Where the planes dropped chemicals

To clear a path for the highway

That never showed up. Back downstairs

The drinks would always be free, and

On the jukebox they were playing my song.

It was there right between Frankie "Half Pint"

Jaxon and the Boswell Sisters, "I Got a

Girl Just Like a Rock Inside my Shoe."
