Had a prostate problem
Probably an infection of a venereal disease
Mic as he was called, could't pee.

Of Riddlesperger's store
And adjust your eyes.

Patience is the only thing he understands
For a reward will surely come his way
As the panhandler greets the day.

If you missed more than two

The merchandise was there, something to try.

not accompanied by Don Quixote,

There it sits glaring back
As if on a mindless tack
Doing its own bidding
When it's moved to responding.
