Green Tea For A Green Dragon
Green tea for a green dragon
because he was on the wagon
his early days he spent drinking green absinthe
which caused him to lose his common sense
and so this led him to join AA
to escape the clutches of the green fair-ee.
Although he was no Oscar Wilde
he was considered a precious child
-a youthful 1000 years-
at concerts he gave many bronx cheers
and although he tried to be another Charles Baudelaire
his style of French just could not compare
and so he tried painting like Toulouse-Lautrec
but only ended up a nervous wreck
and he lost the chance to meet Hemingway
when he missed the train at Santa Fe.
And so his youth was misspent
he had no money to pay the rent
and thus he ended up on the street
where gangsta dudes made fun of his feet.
“I can’t help being a dragon,” said he
burying his heart at wounded knee
and so he went on the wagon
this absinthe drinking green dragon
and that’s why these days you’ll only see
our hero dragon drinking green tea.
