Fireman Wolf Cry
Nothing but have I upon this most
of auspicious moment to give
My total unreserved apologies and
resignation
Unto who whatsoever anybody
tuning white noise out would
surely listen
But a steadfast random collection
of nondescript desperado proclamation
And utterances unlike anything
other than a still drunk barfly
would spit and stutter over a
sticky counter
Without expecting anything else
but this as a retort or curt reply
and shouted at response
No 1 care's anymore we've heard
it all a thousand times plus before
So much so you have what is
less than zero credit in the bank
or credibility left
Why on earth don't you do everyone
including yourself a favor
Take a break go away take a good
hard look at yourself
And try your level best to refresh
this tired old act you have long
hard flogged to death
You find yourself having been
blessed a miracle somehow
within occurred
Then may I on this most auspicious
of occasion
Make this declaration to Yee the
members of the congregation
Only time itself in time will tell
If this was all merely means of
paying lip-service
Using elongated complex intellectual
word's in order to disguise
The stealth and insuring lack of
substance your stay of execution
allows
And normal service resumes and
you appear before us once again
As if you had never even been
away at all
Just gave us all a welcome earned
rest
