The Rubaiyat-parody
quatrain #2
Seeking that old thrill that begins anew
I heard a cry within, ‘I need a shot!’
‘Yeah with a monkey on my back,’ a fix
Is all needed to please the slave driver.

Omar Khayyam’s Rubáiyát
1.
Arise! For morning has knocked the night-
Out like nine pins and out of sight, it’s plain.
And Lo! Each one is out to make the most,
The Game of Life starts anew: place your bets!
