Who warned me not to get tipsy

But who would have thunk

Mississippi Moon

At Bay

I want to own an apartment in
Manhattan, or New York City,
a big house in the country,
and a shack in Mississippi.
Women in each,
Women at every port,
Keep the heart at bay....

Who was known for being rather lippy
His retorts were rude
His mannerism crude
And strangely, he was a sixties hippie.

Like great dark horses

Whose frozen waters now like ornithopappi
