Frank E Gibbard Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 There seems to be one in every bar Who claim to know so very much Of this and that from near and far A myriad of so called facts or such The bar lawyer philosopher and This unwanted general factotum Who next to you will grandly stand And excruciatingly quote them Do not sit on that adjoining stool It’s empty for a very good reason But for the spirit of the last poor fool Who chose that sad seat to ease on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
