A CD for 4.99, a simple CD:
A madman repeats his rhymes that he'd
Brought 'cross the maddening seas
By voice wrecked alike by cigarettes and weed
And alcohol and screams of singing off keys
And pounding the guitar strings just like a disease(d ape)
Strumming and smoking and wheezing reprise
Whilst drawing the finery of chardonnay (grape)
'Won't somebody stop him?' in the simplest plea
The man's clearly high on that simple CD.

Read the book, luckily at Brookhurst Junior High, where it was not banned. Read it one weekend and fell in love in that span. Years later whilst listening to the Doctor (Demento), fell across a discourse on weed ('though I don't touch the stuff), and found the delightful in that long-running screed.
