To coop up and keep down on earth a space
That puff of vapour from his mouth, man's soul)

...Long lines of cliff breaking have left a chasm;
And in the chasm are foam and yellow sands;

...Chaos ruled OK in the classroom
as bravely the teacher walked in
the nooligans ignored him
hid voice was lost in the din
"The theme for today is violence
and homework will be set
I'm going to teach you a lesson
one that you'll never forget"
