This poem is almost 35 years old. When will it grow up?

Question: This poem is almost 35 years old!. When will it grow up!?

*****
I’m back on the highway
with my pockets turned out
by the little blond girl
at the bar!.

I drank and hollered
and gave her all my dollars
so she would dance some more
up on that pole!.

I can’t go back until
payday comes, so I better get
where I should be and keep and my job!.

I’m no jerk, I know how to do my work
but I’d rather bark and howl
and scratch my itch!.
