Who among you is named Clark?
"I am!" said the meadow lark
Who here bares the name of Pearl?
"I do!" said the eastern squirrel
Who's a mean old Visigoth?
"That's me!" said the lazy sloth
Who's the biggest silly nerd?
"Me!" said the bee-eater bird
Whose favorite candy is a Necco?
"Mine!" exclaimed the tokay gecko
Who forgot to wear a tie?
"I did!" said the dragonfly
Who wants to ride the teeter-totter?
"Me of course!" replied the otter
Who's been dating pretty Juana?
"I have! The marine iguana!"
Who has the most precious smile?
"I!" said the Nile Crocodile.
Who eats cookies by the batch?
"Me! The red-breasted nuthatch!"
Who wants this to end right now?
"Me I guess, an annoyed old cow."
My nostalgic trip started in the train station, where I gazed upon an entry hall that resembled a faded photo in a faded album. I clung to the hope of a futuristic carriage.
Sat at your table
Your click clack conversation
Had remained the same
Standing on a street corner, I was trying to understand traffic. The hot, thick, air was full of misting rain, which didn’t stop beads of memories from dripping down my back.
In the dark hours
A Tokay gecko calls out
Echoing through time
A new scenic road has been built alongside the lake. From it you can see the mountain range that edges the plain. The forested peaks covered with stylised clouds.
Peddling to change
When work stops and leisure flows
Free-wheeling future
A jingle wrestling a tune
A tune
A tune
A wave just cracked
A wave just cracked
A whole book full of notes
A’ have! -How about that? Art imitates
And
And in my face
And in my face was this beautiful
And in my face was this beautiful painting cause
This beautiful painting made me realize
How important it was
And made me realize how important it was
And reminisces
Grey cloth official looking cost me $10.00
Now I'm sharing this with you
And she did say
And she did say 'you already
And still they look
And still they look for
And still they look for
Another cobbled verandah
Another limed Tokay
Art imitates life
Art imitates life
As I speak to you
As I speak to you
As we always have
As they speak
As they speak
