Charles Bukowski Happy Birthday

Tekst piosenki

when Wagner was an
old man
a birthday party was given
in his
honor
and a couple of
youthful
incidental compositions
were played.

afterwards
he asked,
„who wrote those?”

„you did,” he was
told.

„ah,” he responded,
„it’s as I have always
suspected: death
then
does have some
virtue.”
