Lather
Your rating:
<div class="showResultLinks">Lather was thirty years old today, <br /> They took away all of his toys.<br /> His mother sent newspaper clippings to him, <br /> About his friends who had stopped being boys.<br /> There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned thirty-three, <br /> His leather chair waits at the bank.<br /> And Sargent Dow Jones, twenty-seven years old, <br /> Commanding his very own tank.<br /> But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do, <br /> To lie about nude in the sand, <br /> Drawing pictures of mountains that look like bumps<br /> And thrashing the air with his hands.<br /> <br /> But wait, oh Lathers' productive you know, <br /> He produces the finest of sound, <br /> Putting drumsticks on either side of his nose, <br /> Snorting the best licks in town, <br /> <br /> But that's all over... <br /> <br /> Lather was thirty years old today<br /> And lather came foam from his tongue.<br /> He looked at me, eyes wide, and plainly say, <br /> "Is it true that I'm no longer young?"<br /> And the children call him famous, <br /> What the old men call insane.<br /> And sometimes, he's so nameless, <br /> That he hardly knows what game to play, <br /> Which words to say.<br /> <br /> And I should have told him, 'No, you're not old.'<br /> And I should have let him go on... smiling... babywide.</
