"Disposable income", you'll learn,
is not all the money you earn.
But, sadly, instead,
What's left when you're bled
By Uncle Sam at every turn.
The boat has sailed,
The barn door's shut,
The night has come,
I'm in a rut.
Ambition's dim;
Hope long deferred
Leaves me behind
The common herd.
I'll buckle down,
Fill in the blanks,
And rise again,
To rob some banks.
Boys are drawn to trouble
By a gravity unique
That causes them to tumble
From the highest mountain peak.
Advice is wasted on them,
To example they are blind,
Threats are cause for laughter,
As more mischief they will find.
Somehow parents love them
And forgive them time again.
Now that I am past all that . . .
I wish that I were ten.
I don't know why the necktie
Is demanded everywhere.
Me, I'd rather walk around
With collar proudly bared.
Circulation is restricted
When you tie the knot;
Your brain is starved of nourishment,
Your thinking goes to pot.
The necktie is a menace,
Hanging limply down your shirt;
It could catch on fire
And you'd sure be badly hurt.
Neckties are as silly
As a rhyme from Dr. Seuss,
And they do remind us
Of the hangman's awful noose.
Every meal you ever eat
While wearing a necktie
Just adds to the disgusting filth
Of this nylon pigsty.
So liberate your neck, my friends,
Remove that choking frill!
And leave them with the nice folks
At your neighborhood Goodwill.
