I ordered a comprehensive set
of cassette tapes recently,
the Bootleg Series, by Bob Dylan:
and overdosed on empathy.
I listened to these hoary classics,
written over thirty years --
saturated with three decades
of cigarettes ... and stale beer.
But it was certainly educational --
for while he bills and coos,
he can take an old folk song
and make it sing the blues.
One thing I discovered,
though someone else might doubt it --
the essential's not experience,
but your attitude about it.
Please tell me what you think, unless you are a total idiot. If so, keep it to yourself.

Loved the closing lines.
