Disco Bob Elated

Men are born to succeed, not to fail. - Thoreau

it was the seventies

with all of its free-loving bennies

he was standing in the corner, locked in his familiar stance

so they asked robert to dance

but he just didn't have the moves

or the will to do that which behooves

his life like a bad train wreck

too weighed down by the tarnished gold and flightless albatrosses 'round his neck

fond of saying, "what the heck"

and watching star trek

he was never clear

like a bad check

Author's Note

"To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust." - Thoreau
