Ralph

A Poem by Discobabba

When he was younger he used to drive truck;
one million miles, no wrecks; that's not luck,
but when he got older he used to drive drunk,
and when he arrived you could tell 'cause he stunk,
but no one got hurt; we're all still alive;
he knew he was drunk, so he drove thirty-five.
An Idaho bigot, he had great dislike
for those Democratic, the n****r, the kike,
but hating in person he found hard to do;
he hung with the Mexicans, lesbian, too,
and were you a neighbor, his duty was clear;
he'd stop by the socialist's place for a beer
and to our surprise, we found in the end
that he was the person who'd been our best friend
and life isn't always quite what you intend.
