COME INTO MY GHOSTLY GHASTLY DREAMS
and I daily dream every day
guys who went to their graves
almost 100 years ago
now come daily searching for me
o poet come quickly
here we are poets of class missing
neo has plenty
Heard 5 or six left neo early
where did they vanish
who can tell me
I asked are you a ghost
he quickly vanished
So depend not on dreams
just relish ice cream
then forget all such
minus passionate dreams
Dreamer friends
where have you lately been

Where did all the flowers go
Am reminded of a long ago song
Peter, Paul and Mary wrote it, I think
I miss Alan

Imdeed by Peter, Paul, and Mary in the 1960’s
Here are the lyrics:
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them, every one
Oh when will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone for husbands, every one
Oh when will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time passing?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time ago?
Where have all the husbands gone?
Gone for soldiers, every one
Oh when will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, every one
Oh when will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, every one
Oh when will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn?

facts of life flowers young girls sweetly pluck away then
fragrance display
I composed the balance too
which blindly washed away
will let the boys as husbands play
then in battle fields pass away
till they are brought covered in flags
and they are buried
gals and pops and moms
bring roses too to Riddeleu

This created a strong
This created a strong reaction for me. I want to read more. Or read a version of it that has evolved just a little more....
