Topic: "Along Beside Chance"
It struck me that there are many delicious words that never get used in songs. So I took it upon myself to use a few obscure-but-wonderful words in a song. This song probably requires a beret-wearing bongo player plus an interpretive dancer or two to complete the performance . . . .
Hey, if Dylan or one of the beat poets had written this it would be considered profound - but it is truly just a bunch of silliness. Even though the song-formatting voodoo is not working right now, I want to post this latest extrusion from my mind:
