Thanks Winter. I see you are a fan of Dorothy Parker, as am I. I wrote music for a poem of hers called Resume a few years ago, well quite a few actually - 70s sometime. You can hear it here. My wife, Sarah, and I sing it to lively up those cold Canadian winter parties.
The lyrics are:
Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; You might as well live.
DP also inspired me to write a song called Women and Elephants Never Forget - I hope I can find that on tape (tape??!!) - I'd like to post that as well. Thanks for reminding me. Cheers.
Allium Giganteum - from the same family that brought you onions and garlic.
Beautiful blog!
