free range sheep,

For wind and tide
And nature

And why not? Shining wonders can be made
In this paradise of green garden shade
Like the most beautiful blondes from Sweden
But when wealth reeks like an opium den

What's one more day?
I always say
And before you know it, A
twist of fate
A moment fades,
But time won’t wait,
And suddenly you're
At the end of the bait.
What's one more bite?
I'm eating this,
What's...

Banana once againWhat sold was for millions as art so grand,
Was bought for a few cents at a fruit stand--
A fancy mall nor mart,
Nor place of art apart,
Nor was banana taped with swanky band.
But a joke so...
