Death of an Unpopular Poet

	作词 : Buffett
	Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett
	I once knew a poet who lived before his time
	He and his dog Spooner would listen as he'd rhyme
	Words to make you happy and words to make you cry
	And then one day the poet suddenly did die.
	But he left behind a closet filled with verse and rhymes
	And through some strange transaction
	One was printed in the Times
	And everybody's searching for the king of underground
	They found him down in Florida with a tombstone for a crown.
	And everybody knows a line from his books that cost $4.99
	I wonder if he knows he's doin' quite this fine.
	'Cause his books are all best sellers and his poems were turned to song
	They had his brother on a talk show though they never got along
	And now he's called immortal, yes, he's even taught in school
	They say he used his talents, a most proficient tool.
	But he left all of his royalties to Spooner his old hound
	Growing old on steak and bacon in his doghouse ten feet 'round
	And everybody wonders did he really lose his mind
	No, he was just a poet who lived before his time
	Yes, he was just a poet who lived before his time.
