I could while away the hours Conferring with the flowers And tightnin' every screw. While my head I'm mostly scratchin' While I wish my thoughts were hatchin' If I only had a clue! I'd unravel every riddle For any individdle In the pink or in the blue With my musings most errantic I could wax a trifle mantic If I only had a clue! Oh I could tell you why Blue and Green are in convergence I could tell you Pig's emergence And some Christian effervescence. I would not be just a nothin' My head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain I would laugh and I'd be merry Life would be a dinglederry If I only had a clue. -alga --- ### akt *01 Mar 2001, 10:23 · follows akt* Jahlee's Song Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, far from Blue, there the dreams that I dare to dream, really do come true. Someday, I'll wish with Horn/Silk/Pas and wake up with the Land of Oz before me. Where I can dance and strip and ----, Trust me, with a bit of luck, that's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow, I won't fly. Why fly over the rainbow, when I can eat apple pie? If other little vampires fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why, can't I? -alga ---
