by dust and stars be riven
to lust for foreign places
where we might find strange faces,

I can...
Re-free them-
as power for kites in the haze,

I Sherly agree,
where does the THE arrize!!
I plot for the!

Like a shanty house-
Never around,
has its own downs,

hill-top surrounds-

even paradoxical their flights up the signs...

When time doesn't occur,
they have left the neither neither with firsts,

Our prez is now Donald J Trump
Who has promised to clean out the sump
      Well he's certainly no wussy

What more to expect from a gump?

Were we to try for heaven,
by dust and stars be riven
to lust for far off places
where we might find strange faces,
