"Georgie B still ain't dead,"
midnight to eight mission man said.
"Sure as hell thought he was
or took a Greyhound bus because
he's always begging on Stuyvesant."
Jail was a bad boy who didn't like can't
whose cock fight left a ghostly sight,
red eyes pummeled black as night.
"One week dry," mission man said,
Death of the Hired Man in mind,
closest thing to a home he had,
and they had to take him in.
