00:00:02.009 --> 00:00:05.490 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem about a
terrible summer job I had once.

00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:08.083 align:middle line:90%


00:00:08.083 --> 00:00:09.750 align:middle line:84%
All of you have had
terrible summer jobs

00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:11.993 align:middle line:90%
at one time or another.

00:00:11.993 --> 00:00:13.660 align:middle line:84%
Lots of things happen
to me this summer.

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:15.077 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Zimmer's
Bad Summer."

00:00:15.077 --> 00:00:20.040 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:24.510 align:middle line:84%
"The summer I lost my
girl, I had a job so bad,

00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:27.900 align:middle line:84%
so hard, I still get
pains around my heart

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:30.270 align:middle line:90%
when it comes to mind.

00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:34.590 align:middle line:84%
Mud, mud, the mason screamed
like the girl saying, no, no,

00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:35.250 align:middle line:90%
no.

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:38.640 align:middle line:90%
And the walls grew up and up.

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.030 align:middle line:84%
When I think of it even
now, the dumb bastard pains

00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:43.560 align:middle line:90%
flick about my heart.

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:45.450 align:middle line:84%
And after a while,
I want the walls

00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:48.150 align:middle line:84%
to fall on me, the
rip roaring mason

00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:51.840 align:middle line:84%
to stumble onto his scutch
and bleed cement, the girl

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.290 align:middle line:90%
to disappear beneath the rubble.

00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:58.620 align:middle line:84%
Can't they see my
heart was broken?

00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:01.140 align:middle line:90%
Good for me, the mason said.

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:04.629 align:middle line:84%
Teach me what the world
is like for money.

00:01:04.629 --> 00:01:07.290 align:middle line:90%
I never had to like it.

00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:09.690 align:middle line:84%
And when the pains
come around now,

00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:15.330 align:middle line:84%
I can say like an old union
pro, watch your ass, boy.

00:01:15.330 --> 00:01:16.350 align:middle line:90%
Stay alive."

00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:17.294 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:17.294 --> 00:01:23.537 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:23.537 --> 00:01:25.120 align:middle line:84%
Thank you very much
for that applause.

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.670 align:middle line:90%


00:01:27.670 --> 00:01:29.980 align:middle line:84%
I have a feeling if you
didn't do it after a poem,

00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:31.750 align:middle line:90%
I would become terribly upset.

00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:33.290 align:middle line:90%
So I just couldn't go on.

00:01:33.290 --> 00:01:36.260 align:middle line:84%
So save it for one booming
crescendo at the end.

00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:37.120 align:middle line:90%
That would be great.

00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.500 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:39.000 align:middle line:90%
