For The President

By light of wine I am writing
this letter just to let you know
I've finally completed the circle
and pissed out your name in the snow
I've put all your stuff in that great shoebox
you use to keep memories in
And buried it under the tree house,
I found your old lighter in the ruin

I remember the best things you taught me
Though some of the bad stuff is gone
And I still have some books left to finish
Every Christmas there was a new one

I have no regrets;
I have paid all my debts
I just hope I did not wait too long
You gave me more than you could give
and left me alone with your song
You gave me more than you could give
and now the present is gone
