- Hi everyone,
-
- This is _just for fun_. I know it's corny, but if it raises a chuckle..
-
- Alun.
-
-
- Yellowstone Park
-
- This deep-hearted vision,
- So silent and dark
- Of fission and fusion
- And photon and quark,
- There's life to be found,
- A meaning that's stark
- Far under the ground
- In Yellowstone park.
-
- Those long-ago days,
- When Earth was still young
- When Man lived in caves,
- Was carefree, had fun
- What ever the season,
- Come rain or come sun
- They each had a reason
- For loving someone.
-
- You see my dilemma,
- My hard-to-make choice
- To stay in Vienna,
- Speak out with one voice
- Our retreat into dreamland,
- Like Carrol, like Joyce
- Where everyone's jocund,
- Light-hearted, and nice.
-
-
-
- (Okay, I promise to go on a diet of bread and water for a week ;) )
