A window of opportunity, arose on planet earth,
Reality is revealed, human intelligence gives birth,
Our mind opens possibilities, but questions coincide,

I offer you the Roundabout:
a little form sublime.

or figured out...

Those words were warm and witty

For Swami Ramalamadingdong

With apologies to Lewis Carroll.

And play a fake trombone.
