Let me tell you ‘bout this cosmic cat,
somebody you really oughta know
Got the coolest walk,
the hippest talk
When he enters the danger zone,

oft times ponder what
afterlife like beyond far horizon ahoy...

imagining small rented farm,

especially one in Scotland

Along country paths that lay rugged and meandering
To see Nature, not in her cultivated neatness
But in her stark nakedness and innate sweetness

Passing fields of corn with golden ears

Pappy Brisco was a clown
