TRANSMUTABLE TRANSFIGURATIONS
© - Tom Hyland - 07-26-08
As the Turns World,
The Thicks Plotten -
And the Blossoms Cherry,
As the Balls Cotton - Rotten!
The Bucket Oakens,
As the Cones Pine -
The Hyenas Laugh Last,
As the Ivies - Poison Entwine!
Baby, Bye-A-Rock,
In the Tops Tree -
The Breaks Bough,
As the Falls Cradle Thee!
Bye-A-Rock, Baby -
All and Cradle -
Blues Cure - Summertime,
The Big - Dippers - a Large Ladle!
Cradle’s in the Cat,
And the Spoon Silvers,
Blue Boy Little,
As the Moon in the Man - Slivers!
Dad’s Comin’ Home When,
Then Together We’ll Be -
Gon’na Have a Time Good,
See - and Wait - and See!
Bye - Bye, American Miss Pie,
Levee by the Chevie Driven -
Boys Old - Good - Drinkin’ Rye,
Whiskeys Die - Onct Forgiven!
My Friend, the Days were Old,
Never End - We Thought -
A Day Forever - We would Sing,
And Dance - and Dance - We Ought!
The Life We’d Live - We’d Choose,
We’d Never Lose the Fight -
The Days Were Those,
My Friend - Young - in All Our Might!
Grace - Amazing - The Sound Sweet,
Me - a Saved Wretch -
Lost Once - and Blind - Was I,
Now Found - Free - Like a Ketch!
Sun - Bright Shining -
Thousand Years - Times Ten -
Praise God’s Days,
No Less Than Begun When!
At Dusk, the Glow Moons,
And the Drops Dew -
While the Chirps Cricket,
As the Tolls Bell - Adieu!
To Dream Perchance?
Perchance to Dream?
Well is - All -
At least T’would Seem!

Perchance to Dream?
Well is - All -
At least T’would Seem!
Very interesting and unique last stanza, and that title is even more unique!
We’d Never Lose the Fight -
The Days Were Those,
My Friend - Young - in All Our Might!
Ah, those were truly the days, my friend. But ye best quit listenin to Matlack - before it's too late!
The Chirps aren't cricketing much this summer. Not here in Coal Country, anyway. Don't know where they're hiding, but I miss them.

Both funny & thought provoking.
Good on you, sir...
