Last saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
But me and my wife have parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dream
Stop your ramblin
Stop your gamblin
Stop stayin out late, late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by your fireside so bright
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dream
I love Irene and I swear I do Love er, love er, love er, love er, love er
Love er, love er, love er, love er
Still the sea runs dry
And if irene ever turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
Irene goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dream

Well I can say the story about the penguin is really funny and all that~ but lets get serious for just a minute. The poem above could very well stand on its own here on YAHOO! Q & A but what about the rest of the world. I know you must have tons of material, take some good advice and rewrite this poem with less of an abstract position capture the hearts of all people no matter who they are. I know you have the ability to do that I can understand your work because i have viewed it often~ but talk to the specific Joe on the street~make him understand I don't mean 5th.st. down town Austin, I can say that being from Texas. Good luck as always.

♫Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on,
Come on, give a listen
'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl in the eye
So if you need some lovin', and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay
But I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah alright here we go now
I'm out of money, cause you know I need some
I ain't around to love you now, and I gotta run
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round♪
