Can someone tell me whether "Daddy's Going on One More Ride" is really the name of the supposedly Shel Silverstein-penned song that Bob Dylan performed either at a rehearsal or a soundtrack or in concert sometime in 1978? Here is my problem:
Daddy's Going on One More Ride:
I can't find words to
Shel Silverstein's obscure song.
Is it even real?
Every song Bob Dylan wrote or performed can be distilled in a haiku. NOTE FOR READERS: All posts from 2010 to 2014 should be considered out of date. Please disregard them. There are, or will be, new versions of each haiku.

Don't just mean smoochin'. It means

But don't you think that's *our* thing?
Hon, let's be discreet.
