Fragrance of warm apple pie,
humming bees so near.
Spring, your lovely virgin breath
sets my heart on fire,
eyes will see no sign of Death,
currents take me higher.
Birds and planes soon left behind,
anxious moments teasing,
clouds beguile the drifting mind,
angel teardrops freezing.
Yes, my friend, you fly ahead
go and find your God.
Those who ache to join the dead
strike me rather odd.

Driving my fancy automobile,
asking myself ‘how do you feel’running over a sleepy toad.Shadows coming, soon it’s dark,I’m just an old fart from the caravan park.Got the radio cranked up high,desert wind in my wild looking hair,now I wonder whether she’d cryI really don’t think that she could care.When I left the mongrel did barkI’m just an old fart…
