I read volumes and scores of books

To get a grip on the sufferings of man

Yet none got me anywhere,

I start to yawn

And dream of choco fudge, bubble bath and water beds.

I tried to grasp the hierarchy of power

And histories of war

Get inside the psyche of the most influentials of men

But my mind drifts back to my adventures in the rain,

Butt naked, bare footed, enjoying like crazy…

To hell with figuring out the world!
