Charles Bukowski - Rhyming Poem

the goldfish sing all night with guitars,
and the whores go down with the stars,
the whores go down with the stars 
I'm sorry, sir, we close at 4:30,
besides yr mother's neck is dirty,
and the whores go down with the etc.,
the whrs. go dn. with the etc. 
I'm sorry jack you can't come back,
I've fallen in love with another sap,
3/4 Italian and 1/2 Jap,
and the whores go
the whores go
etc. 
from "All's Normal Here" - 1985

Of course that makes sense. The whores go down with the stars means they're out at night, but go away in the day time. Prostitutes generally do it at night when it's darker and they're less likely to be seen and caught.
