"By plague, by sea, or perhaps by VD, the new device of unrest shall come to thee."
So sayeth the all knowing prick of our merciless saviour.
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
I've been down
to little Sally's grave
and over where
Grand Cathedral shall be
all caverns over the sea
look out over the sea
Great Monument is unbound
unrobed now
tells me I will be
just where I would be
if I could be there now
and just ask how
but as we wait
Maturin knows
and kindly shows
where it all goes
all the junk flows
to the sea
lucky me
I breathe easily
in dreams of sheets
that I will find
the soft and neat
that bears
peace of mind
in the ground
and i get found
buried in
the smooth white down
wherever they might be
I'll never see
busy me
scrounging around
in the tiny ghost town
and no sun sets
but better yet
the sleeping wake
from their rest
and calmly
as they rise
and pause
the mighty end
comes for us all
and we laugh
because everyone gets
at least their half
of the shaft
and we all sleep peacefully
until they see
the little cock comes out
and pees
