Willy was a Houston musician-
cars,guitars,women and drugs
Fast life with faster folk
until middle age found him homeless
under a bridge with diabetes
When frogs disappeared,i blamed the drought
(69 days @106 degrees-world dried up
Teachers stressed/people in ill health
Perry living off public taxes
while demanding there be none!
Waterholes dry up/folk get burned
Even the homeless cannot bear the heat
when applied by the overpaid APD
When the streets are bare/no frogs there
We weep for the loss of trees
We are aging,too,and each death a notch
that chops another forest for more homes
They all rush to Austin for some fun
Like Dick Whittington,they think the party's ON!
The party has long long gone
Now they remake SLACKER origins
The CHRONICLE will not print poetry listings
What can the frogs do with no waterholes?
They will go where the Rainbow Serpent glows
Back in to the rainbow.
