Gigin alone at the bottom of the hill

 Our protagonist named Bill

 Sets his sights on an anchor steam pint

 All he needs is thirteen quarters

 Congregated in his hat

A crow, a scavenger type

 California redemption provides him with his rent

Room and board inside of a fifth of comfort

 As the wind penetrates his bones

 His mind keeps focused

Tidal waves of sound catapulted

 From his horn wail like lovers

The coins don't drop consistent as does the mercury

 His meter slows realizing a zenith

 He's reached perfection

 No one did see him die
