There was once a man who couldn't do much Everytime he reached, he couldn't touch Everything he said was so much wind So he'd just stand around and listen again He heard everything that people had done, But when you've heard them all, you've just heard one So he began to listen all around To a wider spectrum of sound When he'd done heard all there was to do hear He began to search for something new here There's more silent things than that sound something So he listened to the shades of nothing But things began to get a little bit weird What he heard no one had ever adheared Since silence sounds more or less the same His mind played a silent little game He heard Rocks in the sky The sun in his eyes Wood, water, earth In the time flying by The skin of grass And when he heard love Honey ran out of his ear Do you hear? |

I thought at first you must be describing Long John. *G* But there's nuthin purty about that scalawag *G*... and you've penned a beauty here, Toe... and urged us all to listen... Whatever else you're doing, you're writing some treasures... Excellent work!!! |

I see you're up to your old tricks again....paying some professional poet to write something in your name....well, tell whoever wrote it they did a good job  |
