hauled off in a handcart
'bring out your dead'
the plague is upon us.

Sounds from another time.

A dollar to a dime
that time will come again.

Yet
here we have it all
the welfare..wait!
the nanny goat?
I'm getting my coat
and leaving,

still breathing nitrous
they tell us it's good for us
and
they'd tell us anything
to keep us quiet.

Barkeep.
'One more for the road'
a long one
a strong one

God give me strength.
