Peripheral Visionary everything's given, nothing is earned accept or reject it, consume or get burned digging your heels and rolling your eyes at me, you peripheral visionary no forward, no backward, no high and no low there's only movement, so go with the flow digging your heels and rolling your eyes at me, you peripheral visionary you're on the threshold, it's coming into view it's not external, you looking all askew just take a glance, let motion enhance it's exponential, expediential just take a glance, let motion enhance it's exponential, expediential draw up a contract, a character clause stick with your story till Walt Disney thaws digging your heels and rolling your eyes at me, you peripheral visionary no one is watching, there's no keeping score go on, manifest it, adore and explore digging your heels and rolling your eyes at me, you peripheral visionary just take a glance, let motion enhance it's exponential, expediential just take a glance, let motion enhance it's exponential, expediential you're on the threshold, why not take a chance. it's not external, you looking all askance digging your heels and rolling your eyes at me, you peripheral visionary

Pan (©2002 Ken Clinger) son of hermes, uncertain mother myths seem to suggest a goat father brings you to mount olympus gods laugh at your hooves and coat hale & hearty, but solitary gods send you to fields & woods god of plants & god of beasts by mankind misunderstood pan appears in midday sunlight vegetation turns your way breezes laugh and swirl in delight wildlife comes to dance & play startled humans spurn the wildness panic rises from your name primitive, uncouth in nature artless instinct still untamed pan appears in midday sunlight vegetation turns your way breezes laugh and swirl in delight wildlife comes to dance & play christian men mad you their devil appropriated hooves and horns a beat to threaten the unconforming your innocence & joy ignored.

The Duck & The Kangaroo 06:17
lyrics

The Duck & The Kangaroo by Edward Lear (public domain) I Said the Duck to the Kangaroo,
    'Good gracious! how you hop!
 Over the fields and the water too,
    As if you never would stop!
 My life is a bore in this nasty pond,
 And I long to go out in the world beyond!
    I wish I could hop like you!'
    Said the duck to the Kangaroo.   II 'Please give me a ride on your back!'
    Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.
 'I would sit quite still, and say nothing but "Quack,"
    The whole of the long day through!
 And we'd go to the Dee, and the Jelly Bo Lee, 
Over the land and over the sea;--
    Please take me a ride! O do!'
    Said the Duck to the Kangaroo.   III Said the Kangaroo to the Duck,
    'This requires some little reflection;
 Perhaps on the whole it might bring me luck,
    And there seems but one objection,
 Which is, if you'll let me speak so bold,
 Your feet are unpleasantly wet and cold,
    And would probably give me the roo-
    Matiz!' said the Kangaroo.   IV Said the Duck ,'As I sate on the rocks,
    I have thought over that completely,
 And I bought four pairs of worsted socks
    Which fit my web-feet neatly.
 And to keep out the cold I've bought a cloak,
 And every day a cigar I'll smoke,
    All to follow my own dear true
    Love of a Kangaroo!'   V Said the Kangaroo,'I'm ready!
    All in the moonlight pale;
 But to balance me well, dear Duck, sit steady!
    And quite at the end of my tail!' 
So away they went with a hop and a bound, 
And they hopped the whole world three times round;
    And who so happy, -- O who,
    As the duck and the Kangaroo?
