Here's to the man with tongue chasing heart
Native quick warm venom is just how he starts-
Pantomime vagabond vibrating jazz
Louie's his darling, his voice the big band-
Cinema reel eyes flicker story woven clever
leather fingers shovel with a mind full of letters
Circus soul cemented on mossy serenity
and oh! his Mexican dreams!
Burro burrows in his texts of William S.
chasing whiskey with the love on his breath
Noble savage with a lag - grass and liquor have a kick,
tripping head askew beaver fever with a lick
Tobacco princes bow their necks
Neon prophets all take a rest
Let upstate's savior claim his throne
Biblical name, the world his home
