Leroy

Leroy 1

He’s a cripple you know; 2

he fell off the leaning tower of Pisa

(that’s in Fwance)3

and now he’s thirsty and

needs a beer4

“lemme borrow three dollars”5

never four and for just one more

and at the end (maybe middle)

of the day 6

when we’ve all come out

of the woodwork to play

crapaoke 7 will start,

he will shout “WHISKEY”8

as “roll tides9” always hang in the air

we might dance, play darts10,

cuss and tell jokes11

but we’ll not cry.

“for there’s fewer tears

and more beers12” when

Leroy is here.13
