By Jack Joseph Smith

Careful Call on Sinatra, call on good things Watch your chances not to be deceptive Old rock and roll stars don't work anymore, they just steal candy from babies I am a finished laborer, and I write a poem every week; mostly to justify a case of beer, while Bob Dylan and the rest, haven't written a damn thing, since I thought, we through it all away on acid So, personally I believe your getting lied to; go back home youngsters, try putting on Sinatra, and do get some rest

The speaker contrasts weekly poems justified by beer with accusations that rock stars, including Bob Dylan, no longer write, and tells youngsters to listen to Sinatra and rest.

These are the speaker's complaints, not verified assessments of musicians. The acid recollection and unclear revision should not be expanded into a firm chronology.

'Careful' begins 'Call on Sinatra, call on good things', has the speaker call himself 'a finished laborer,', and ends 'go back home youngsters, try putting on Sinatra, / and do get some rest'.

The poem's judgments of other musicians are the speaker's opinions, not checked claims; through and your are kept as typed, and the scribbled mark and revision order are provisional.
