Ballad : Farewell to College

by J and J - Cancer

a crazy drunk here, a crazy drunk there,
here a drunk
there a drunk
everywhere a drunk drunk
old mc-drunkie had some rum
hic-cup hic-cup burp.

and on this campus was some fun
hic-cup hic-cup burp.
can't remember much last night
oh no oh no nooo.
how did i get in my bed
pillow pillow rum
who clocked me in the head
oh ouch oh ouch oh.

fare thee well, college, with your putrescent
incessant swirling of paranoid days and ways
of books and coffee and overacted plays,
the silent forgivingness of 40 ounces
the lost mornings, evenings afternoons
the work that catches you and pounces
the women that slid in like a spoon
and flip yoe a rotten bloated pancake
and when i am that pancake,
when i am flipped and turned
when i am turned and burned,
how can i begin to detox all the empty bottleslie about the floor
that is it, and more.

shall i say i have climbed the library in the evening
and watchflames that die with a dying fall
and dance upon the corners of the evenings.
i am a great fool,
goodbye.
