Lyrics:                                        OO            OO
					      O()O          O()O
You heard about, "be your own man"             OO            OO
You talk alot and loud                                U  U
Illustrate the obvious boy                             UU
You're mentally endowed
					      Jesse Schlotterbeck
Watershed year comes                           jschlot@depauw.edu
You're flush with fever
The richest junk dealer

Honestly, a book you read once lets you
Think in rhyme.  The old extreme sits
Pale and molds now for the
Millionth time

Wilma's rainbow of peaceful colors
The richest junk dealer
