John Rathjens

Who is that lazy drink of water,
Always lurking by Robin?
Does he fancy himself Golden Boy of Broad Street?

Weeks later, we all knew better--
John Rathjens is cooler than Eddie Vedder.
After goblets of They Might Be Giants
And boxed sets of mischief
(And perhaps getting Magic Nick down out of the rafters)
John, you were the one who brought the best disasters.

Happy Birthday.
