This does not prove the Dylan is "so far above Lennon" since some of John Lennon's work is definitely better than this. Most of Dylan’s other songs are better than anything John Lennon has wrote though. I didn’t even know there was such a debate.
Anyway, this song is almost awful. Dylan is really stretching to get out some awful rhymes and besides Castro’s beard it isn’t very funny. It is only forgivable in that Dylan probably made it up as he went. Seriously, Dylan’s rhyme schemes usually have an amazingly good flow to them. This is just awkward sounding.
you guys totally nailed it. he was trying, but failed. totally one of his worst song.
.................................. not.
You guys clearly dont understand the vibe of this song.
He's not "stretching out to find rhymes" in this song. He's telling a story.

I agree that this is one of Dylan's lesser efforts. Dylan's lesser efforts are still far above most others best efforts.

One thing I love about Dylan is his ability to be off-beat and awkward sounding, yet get his point across. Isn't that Dylan?
