how about another poem that tells a story,edgar.


Who Has Seen the Wind?
By Christina Rossetti
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

Now, the song.

TRAIN KEPT A-ROLLIN' - Tiny Bradshaw, Howard Kay, and Lois Mann.



Woh! Bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
Oh, bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
Boo-dow, boo-day, a-bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
I caught the train, I met a real dame
She was a hipster and a gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And she trucked on down the ol' fair lane
With a hee, and a hoo
And I just couldn't let her go
So get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
With a hee, and a hoo
And I just couldn't let her go
Yes, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Mmm, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
And I still wouldn't let 'er go

We made a stop at Albuquerque
She must have thought I was a real gone jerk
We got off the train in El Paso
Her lovin' was so fine Jack, I couldn't let 'er go
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
With a hee, and a hoo
And I sure couldn't let her go
Yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Ooh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Mm, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Yeah-yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Ooh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
And I still wouldn't let 'er go

It has been many years since I read anything by Dostoyevski. I recall immensely enjoying his work.

A Better Place to Be by Harry Chapin

How about art and poetry that tell stories, edgar.

NEW YORK — A work from Claude Monet's "Water Lilies" series has been sold for more than $43 million at a New York City auction.



Monet's Waterlilies by Robert Hayden

Today as the news from Selma and Saigon
poisons the air like fallout,
I come again to see
the serene, great picture that I love.

Here space and time exist in light
the eye like the eye of faith believes.
The seen, the known
dissolve in iridescence, become
illusive flesh of light
that was not, was, forever is.

O light beheld as through refracting tears.
Here is the aura of that world
each of us has lost.
Here is the shadow of its joy.

It's a great tribute to an even greater painting.

Frank's "It Was A Very Good Year":


Truly the fantasy of the redblooded nursing home dweller.

It was a very good song, neko

Now, dear listeners, Ed's going to tell us
what he did while on pass from this airbase
at Del Rio, across rhe river...

La la la
Man you're in trouble plenty
