The Jerk 
 
The jerk asked Cher about the Middle East 
and she said I'm Cher
You don't want to know what I think
about the Middle East
 
So the jerk went on to Robbie Robertson
and asked him about The Weight 
and Robbie said man have you 
ever seen a motorcycle crash? 
 
Then he took off his Jerk mask
and the reporter asked Bob Dylan
how it felt to be him
how it felt all these years later
 
And Dylan looked at the fool 
on the hill and said
no you tell me how it felt
and he put on the Jerk mask
