Mr Rain

September 30th, 2005

Where the hell did it go?
They say he spent it all on wine and women
But even so–
I know a guy who wrote a song for Garth Brooks
And now he’s got it made for life
But Mozart never really made a lot of money,
And that’s what I tell my wife.
I’d like to know what happened to Poe’s
Investment portfolio
Maybe he walled it up in that crypt
With his good friend Fortunato
I know a guy who knows Stephen King
Who’ll be a sheik in the afterlife
But Mr. Poe never made much dough
And that’s what I tell my wife
I accost her with tales of Stephen Foster
And the visionary William Blake
I say
