Once a month on a Sunday evening
As the shadows draw longer and near
Some middle aged men get together
‘round a fully stocked cooler of beer
The cooler is loaded with beer
And the end table’s stacked with snacks
And the middle aged men have appeared
Determined to drink and relax
They drink and relax and crack up
and a humorous mood starts to spread
as the dead soldiers start to stack up
and they talk about what they’ve read
What they’ve read is a book of their choosing
To educate aging minds
Although they’re enamored of boozing
And telling tales tall as the pines
Tall tales like Liz Salander’s story.
Zafron’s Spanish surrealism sticked
In their heads, but “The Big Short” by Lewis
Was the best book this year that they picked.
