I say this after giving it a tug and a whirl.

Born to glabrous mountain king

On her rapture and cry I grown
Broken the rules with fickle frie...

Can you hear trees laugh as new...

...We approached the Hubbard Glacier,
More than seventy miles long,
And we watched it calve and listened
To its snap-pop-crackle song.
As chunks of ice broke free and fell

...In Alaska, running loose
Are grizzlies, caribou and moose.
Eagles soar and whales cavort
And salmon fishing is a sport.
Glaciers calve and mountains rise,
Scenery to mesmerize.

to get you out of bed.
The moving sheets, the rustled beat;

All welfare bill would easily pass,
And we’d be spending hard, I bet,
Without incurring any debt.

Strife Today
...I don’t want any strife
None in my life

Crying an option negative
For strife could shiv
My sacred heart
Forever...

By the 8’o clock warning device

Jaded by the whole day lecture a...
