So, Cornwall, March...

1) ah, spring just weeks away i wager, days almost, like lolling for lambs almost (as if i a seasoned ram) - 2) - a dram or two of whisky, sirrah? why, thank you - 3) - and now i sleep - 4) - in a bluebell wood like some pre-raphaelite youth, callow to the core (and what's wrong with that? forsooth?) - 5) - banish the thought. away. go. i fight the germans yet. with guns and ammo, with modern machinery. here they come again, see, back through the ardenne... and there, banish the thought, i see a french woman lifting up her dress and opening her parts for an advancing german thrust - 6) - banish the thought. away. go. - 7) - lead me yet in exile to an enchanted garden, but one with a moat - 8) - and pass the port, sirrah? and while away while sailing on... a boat? - 9) - i watch road to guantanamo on the tv and can't help thinking, again, how them people were just so so lucky they had americans to deal with insteada german nazis - 10) - yeah yeah, luxury cars - 11) - luxury hotels, luxury cruise ships, luxury bars... - 12) - i'm 124 years old y'know, the oldest man in the world - 13) - i've seen a thing or two about how this world goes - 14) - whooosh... - 15) - and i'm faster than fangio, playing the banjo, wheeling the hospital corridors with jennifer love hewitt on my lap - 16) - whooosh... - 17) - and it's hey mcmurphy! (sonny jim) you seen this girl's tits? are they for real or what? - 18) - whooosh... - 19) - and it's jesus christ, god almighty, i gotta get out of this place. i gotta get out of myself. i need a map - 20) - (imagine... God... A German?) - 21) - (and Speaking, to The World, In German?) - 22) - i'd forego heaven... sooner satan with a texas accent and a hot poker up my ass than kowtow to german deity - 23) - but that's just a personal opinion - 24) - (jesus christ, there's a kraut in the vatican. what the hell's going on?) - 25) - and sleepy-bye, sleepy-bye... - 26) - i take my medication - 27) - 28) - i wake up, i go to sleep (luxury) - 29) - i wake up, i go to sleep - 30) - i up the dosage, living in a prozac world - and did you know, vincent van gogh was born today? - 31) - and sleepy-bye, sleepy-bye...
