Lands Of Jode

I wander through the Lands of Jode
where the unicorns all know me by name
and the gnomes scurry playfully at my feet
and the mists whistle to the faeries



Every child's dream is a reality
and every toker's hallucination
is true to form



The sun always shines on the Lands of Jode
with its green people and purple grass
reflecting never-ending rainbows from bountiful dew-laden flowers



There is no hurt in the Lands of Jode
and we're all a peaceful bunch
and all that is heard for miles on end
is the sound of raucous laughter


It is easy to get to the Lands of Jode
you need only follow your mind
for even Shaw himself said
"Dream things that never were, and ask why not!"

never looked so attractive. You piqued my curiosity with the name of Jode, perhaps it's Jolly Old Devilish Elves?

Thanks, Jess

I wanted a fantasy-type name that was easy to pronounce and spell. =) I want a ticket, too! ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Life is the sun, and the show must go on and on; make it come true. Life is the sun, and the road goes on and on; paint this song any colour but blue." - Don Ross
