The Last Swinger In Town
I felt humbled, not hallow
Seen as shallow
As i swung, to, and fro
From the gallows
My appearance, now fallow
My giraffe neck, now sallow
Lit up by my own tallow
My heart mallow, my mind callow
Headed to hell, lo'
Beneath the dark shadows
No mind to wallow
The last swinger, now swung'o
My swansong
Silenced by the tightened noose
I too, am now mute
A foot loose, dispute
