Lather was thirty years old today
They took away all of his toys
His mother sent newspaper clippings
to him about his old friends
who'd stopped being boys
There was Harwitz E. Green,
just turned thirty-three,
His leather chair waits at the bank
And Sergeant Dow Jones,
twenty-seven years old,
Commanding his very own tank
But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do
To lie about nude in the sand
Drawing pictures of mountains
that look like bumps
And thrashing the air with his hands.
But wait, o Lather's productive you know
He produces the finest of sound
Putting drumsticks
on either side of his nose
Snorting the best licks in town
But that's all over
Lather was thirty years old today
And Lather came foam from his tongue
He looked at me eyes wide
And plainly said
Is it true that I'm no longer young
And the children call him famous
What the old men call him insane
And sometimes he's so nameless
That he hardly knows
Which game to play
Which words to say
And I should have told him
"No, you're not old."
And I should have let him go
Smiling... babywide
