I was asleeping by my shack
Head over heels I was leaning back
Listening to a man telling me
I had no place for where I be
Sun was low over me that day
Sun was high and he had that day
Didn't do his brain away
Man was talking cotton
Wool flustered brain
Sweat trickling on the beat
Of his summer rain

And I sang
Man
I am sitting sweet
Ain't no way I getting heat
You have no place to go
I am here and singing low
Up my beat to my song
I am here
You won't be long
Cause I am honest don't you see
You are intelligent not me
So take your time
Tell me more
Cause you are the man
I'm working for

Don't know why he went away
Suppose he felt he couldn't stay
I never heard him complain at all
Not that I can recall
So I sit in my shack
And just think
And relax

I guess that type of relationship has never been easy .... one has a "calculating" intelligence, but the "thinker" questions also the heart ...
to "think and to relax" is always a good exercise, as you show here.
Love, Margherita

I thought of it as a balance - maybe I am for the down trodden but you win some, you lose some and the biggest problem is the one's who arn't easy and you are making your non-existent quota on the easy ones who out-think where it matters.

love Dave

Magnus

Many thanks for the words

Dave
