In Tucson toucan tango and the armadillo sing Marsupials make merry in the silver little spring And a girl of gold I'd like to hold Becomes that wise black king. In Tucson toucan tango and the porcupines all fly The cactus wrens make music that could make you almost cry And a girl of gold I'd like to hold Sells tickets to the sky. In Tucson toucan tango and coyotes passing through Tell tall tales about Cibola while they dance a jig or two And a girl of gold I'd like to hold Is wond'ring what to do. In Tucson toucan tango - no, enough, this tale is done The Indians have scattered and the buffalo are gone And the girl of gold I'd like to hold Stands waiting in the sun. |

John, I've been away a bit, and this is one of the first of yours I've seen - and it likes me a lot! Welcome to Passions, hope you enjoy for a long, long time! Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Thanks, Sunshine. First post over here - I usually hang out with the other masochists over in Critical. It's never too late to have a happy childhood ... |

Hey...John...nice job here....feel lucky though...I get a critical analysis on all the garbage I write...Either Balladeer sticks it to me, Nan deletes or changes, and actually, it's surprising my crap is ever considered as poetry anyway?...LOL....Welcome, and keep up the good work... |
