AYE I remember him now
a wordsmith he was
A teller of tall tales
I remember his words
bright they were like a newborn morn

Great tales of past things
Huge castles of Green amber
beautiful princesses
and wizards with great power
over the world they went

Tales of Bravery
Tales of loves
well spun tales
of what has been
Or what has yet to come

A silver toungue he had
he spoke in rhymes
And he spoke great reason
Knights and dragons
Lived in his words
Drawing you deeper

But what good are tales
when your old and have seen
And have been, no i left,
His words meant nothing
Although pretty words they were
I am just going to fade away.

  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

no one tells a tale like you walter...
and poets dont fade away...their words and verse inscribe a place in time to be held.
take care, jm

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...
