Sailing to God('s)

That is no country for old men. The young
will flame out, like shining from shook foil
-- Those dying generations -- at their song,
Crushed. Fish, flesh or fowl,
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

An aged man is but a paltry thing,
And for all this, nature is never spent;
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
Consume my heart away, sick with desire
And though the last lights come from the holy fire,
Oh, morning, gather me into the artifice of eternity.

Language is like a huge joke, and so is your degree.

"If you wanna be a Jabberwock"

To the tune of the Spice Girls hit "Wannabe"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3wgaWAHo2Q&,
from :50 - 2:30, ending on a refrain of the first stanza)

[oh, and pardon the constantly wrenched meter]


'Twas brillig and the toves, the slithy slithy toves,
Did gyre in the wabe, and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the -goves, the boro- borogoves,
And the momey momey raths, the mome raths did outgrabe,
The slithy toves (eh!) the borogoves (eh!)
the gimbling wabe (eh!) raths did outgabe (eh!)
and I wanna really really wanna brilly brig ah!

"If you want my future beware the Jabberwock my son!
If you wanna get with me the Bandersnatch you'd better shun!
Now don't go wasting the Jubjub bird,
Get your act together now that's my final word!"

"I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna snicker-snack ah."

He took his vorpal sword, the two were best of friends, (the two were best of friends!)
He sought the manxome foe, his journey never ends,
So he rested by the Tumtum tree, his legs began to give,
He stood awhile in thought, but that's the way it is.

"What do you think about that!" as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock whiffled through the tulgey wood,
"You look quite tasty, I'll give you a try,
If you really bug me then I'll burble goodbye!"

Yo the sword went one-two, one-two one-two one-two,
The sword went straight through and through and through and through,
He left it dead, and took it's head, it's head was dead, that's what I said, and he went galum-
galum- galum- galum- galumphing back.

"If you wanna be my lover, hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Make it last forever, you really walk the walk!
If you wanna be my lover, O frabjous day,
Taking is too easy, but Callooh! Callay!"

'Twas brillig and the toves, the slithy slithy toves,
Did gyre in the wabe, and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the -goves, the boro- borogoves,
And the momey momey raths, the mome raths did outgrabe,
The slithy toves (eh!) the borogoves (eh!)
the gimbling wabe (eh!) raths did outgabe (eh!)
and I wanna really really wanna brilly brig ah!

Let the tear fall, that clashes as it dies:
it was as much as his three companions could do
to entertain away
his notice
of the lateness of the hour.

But see, here is another sign. Footprints are here:
the plan of a drain, the change of a fence,
the felling of a tree --
you thought you saw me, and again
when you were measuring my tracks.

Having arranged all these matters,
looked them through and put them all to rights;
Friends, tell me only
what you would have, and it is yours.
We have all the comforts which the wind was despoiling

and the length of the day
which only made the cruel sights the longer visible.

Two habitations

Marriage is not a slight movement
one of accident

Often and quietly it is before that,
and colder

The edge of the desert,
the unpainted stairs

and so through the years themselves.

We are learning toward laughter.
