Old Pete

Originally Published January 3rd, 2017

If there was ever a man

Who could top ol' Pete

He would have to summit mount Kildare

and take his ashes 

from his frozen seat

If there was ever a man

Who could best ol' Pete

He would have to fight 10 men at once

Without leaving his seat

I heard a rumor

Of swarthy ol' Pete

Who conquered women in his youth

and lands in his heat

Ol' pete was a man beyond merit

Greater than himself

A myth, no man lay behind the tales

of ol' pete regaled

I saw him there

The day before he died

great old Pete

sipping a liquor tete

by a dumpster he lied

I said "Old pete what are you doing out here"

and he replied

It wasn't I

He said

It wasn't I
