Top of the World, Mum/Ma!

Poem Artwork
-->

Inspired By My Old British Chum,


AD Member Andy James Turner,


Who Loves to Re-Write History!
And By His New AD Bio Photo.


 


That’s Little Andy, on the Left,


On Top of His World.


That’s Little Eddie on the Right,


On Top of Mine


 


 


“Made it Mum/Ma, Top of the World!”


 


James Cagney,


From the Movie, White Heat


 


 


Look at what just happened to him/me
 Suddenly, he’s/I'm on top of the world
This is just the elixir that he/I needed


A whole new vista has suddenly unfurled


 


He/I can see for mile upon endless mile way up here


The sea/mountain air is so wondrously fresh and clean


The only sounds that he/I hear are sweet bird melodies


His/my heart and soul are now truly refreshed and serene

Believe it or not,
He’s/I'm now gliding on air,
He/I never thought he/I could feel this free



Hovering there/here on a marvelous summer morn,


Who could it be?
Believe it or not,


It's just him/me

It's the glorious light of a brand new day
And it suddenly came clear out of the blue
Breaking him/me out of the funk he/I was in
Making all of his/my wishes finally come true



Believe it or not,


He’s at a rugged seaside cliff,


 I'm standing on a jagged mountain rock,
And he/I never thought he/I could feel this free


 


Hovering up there/here on a marvelous summer morn,


Who could it be?


Believe it or not,
It's just him/me


 


Believe it or not,
He’s/I'm gliding on air,
He/I never thought he/I could feel so free


And, believe it or not,


It’s just him/me!



And I wish I was standing up there right now,


Or on that marvelous seaside cliff with Little Andy,


Feeling Like One Really Is On Top of One’s World,


If Even For Only a Few Minutes - Is Absolutely Dandy


 


 


†2007, Andy’s Old Yank Pal


 


 


PS  Rumor Has It


That Kate Burnside


Had to Hoist


Little Andy Up There


Via Pulley & Chain,


But That Has Not


Been Substantiated!


 


(She’s a Very Strong British Lass)

Too true... But, in truth, it was more like carrot and stick, if you get my gist... And NOT what you're thinkin, you can be sure of that...!!! I'm tempted to say this sounds like the old macho "mine's bigger than yours" banter, but I'll be generous and say that Ed, as usual you are totally spot on... to be on top of one's world, whether 33,000 feet above sea level and floating on air in the Himalayas or 50 feet above the North Sea in Denmark... it's truly a humbling yet affirming experience.... and very, very liberating... as many of Andy's biog picture commentators have noted... And no... I'm not humping you up to the top of the Rockies, Ed... you've got another think coming... Karroty Kate xx

This is a lovely refreshing and cheerful story. It must be wonderful to feel that sense of "being on top of the world". The pictures are great--I wonder whose mountain is the highest. LOL
