Freddy sung about bohemian times,
With passion and wonderous joy.
The Beats wrote with singular love,
Junky and Kaddish went with On the Road.
Warhol painted like a man possessed,
Greenwich Village pulled in the crowds.
Thomson watched as the show went on,
Fear and Loathing, Las Vegas was straight ahead.
Lennon left with one brutal shot,
His words lived on, under mountains of pot.
A playwright shacks up in Manhattans lower town,
Thinking on death and writing with amazing tones.
Wall Street crashed, two towers came down,
The mayor stood just like a clown.
Crazy Joey crossed the Don,
He left the stage like it was already done.
Tapestries – tapestries that make a world,
Broadway was welcome in any town.
