Heavens Gate

franticly, Bo cried aloud
the sheep are all astray

never fear,now Doe is here
and he will lead the way

we strayed because of hunger
and that hunger dreadful deep

lo' the master made them applesause
and bade them all to sleep

then lovingly he once again-
advised them never fear

and as they soundly slept
he gently whispered to each ear:

halle bopp,diddy wop
pass along the word
conductor's shouting "all aboard"
the magic whirlybird
 
                                  god speed.

this was written 
years ago about
the heavens gate tragedy
recently found it
cleaning out a drawer
hope you enjoy.
