If we judge a poet& #39;s strength by their ability to write (good) lines that no one else would attempt/get away with, then John Prine is one of the greats.
The moon and stars hang out in bars just talkin& #39;
I still love that picture of us walkin& #39;
Just like that ol& #39; house we thought was haunted
Summer& #39;s end came faster than we wanted
"Summer& #39;s End"

When you got hell to pay
Put the truth on layaway
And blame it on that ole& #39; crazy bone
"Egg & Daughter Nite, Lincoln Nebraska, 1967 (Crazy Bone)"

I once had a family but they up and left me
With nothing but an 8-track, another side of George Jones
I was in high cotton, just a-bangin& #39; on my six-string
A-kickin& #39; at the trash can, walkin& #39; skin and bone
"Knockin& #39; on Your Screen Door"

Sometimes my ol& #39; heart is like a washing machine
It bounces around & #39;til my soul comes clean
And when I& #39;m clean and hung out to dry
I& #39;m gonna make you laugh until you cry
"Boundless Love"

And then I& #39;m gonna get a cocktail: vodka and ginger ale
Yeah, I& #39;m gonna smoke a cigarette that& #39;s nine miles long
I& #39;m gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirl
& #39;Cause this old man is goin& #39; to town
"When I Get to Heaven"
