Ken, you are fast!
I like your song/tune references. Our dog, Dingle, loves to play in whatever falls from the sky, today it was the sheets of rain.
oh pup, you dive in
left ear first, flip and flour youself whiter
on flakes or petals
one last romp
carried back inside
asperges

A Canto of Mutabilitie
Through the headphones Bryn Terfel,
Wagner's condemned Holländer
Despair will the cycle be unbroken
he cannot know sacrifice will free him
his belief lost but not his dirty hope
misery passes and so may joy
both crushed underfoot fallen weeds
the same fate as fallen blossoms
mutabilitie lasts change the only surety
perhaps a name for what we believe
fortune turn thy wheel already
