Charlie at the cafe
Charlie at the bar
the most gullible boy alive meets
the foxiest girl in the world
Charlie so famous he’s
escaped the funny pages
but will never escape
the humiliation of
ending up flat on his back
with a colossal thud
yet again
Charlie at the racetrack
Charlie at the strip club
Charlie drunk on lemonade
and bad psychiatry
It’s no wonder his dog
owns the Van Gogh
