all our magic donkeys live by the sea
near pensioner dragons from honalee
dragons don’t like forgetful snotty tots
nor clever ditties about smoking weed
ii
little jackie paper met his end
when at a honalee opium den
dragon puff sent jackie to helly hell
for being a fairweather fink false friend
iii
he had it coming still says dragon puff
who on jackie he did some fiery stuff
went up like vapor the dragon did laugh
and fired a fresh blunt and took a huff
iv
all our magic donkeys live by the sea
near pensioner dragons from honalee
but what happens in honalee gets round
via our willie the magic donkey
by the billigits (translated by dame daisy kloverleaf)
Now do “Where Have All The Flowers Gone” (learned it was circular just a few years ago after hearing it a thousand times).

Hi Doug
Coincidentally, I just heard that song on my oldies list. Between Rockin Robin and the Isley Bros. one that goes “this poor heart of mine.”

This is better than the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar Himself, as made famous by Grace Slick and Lewis Carroll himself! HAVE you ever seen the Pix of B. Dylan where he dresses up like Lewis Carroll!!?? (see the cover of WORLD GONE WRONG). Wild and cool!

(PS, Dylan’s version of “Delia” from WGW produces two kinds of tears, one b/c it’s so great & too b/c so sad & true…tell Daisy K. “high”…)

Ah,
You really have to be creative to introduce half the stuff Carroll did to the world.
Thank you as always!

I re-read the lyrics to “White Rabbit” by Grace Slick a few times.
What she did with Alice in Wonderland reminds me of what the billigits and Daisy are doing with The Rubaiyats of Omar Kayyam (OR vice versa).
Since “White Rabbit” indubitably stands as one of the greatest rock songs of all time (for sure), this is obviously high praise, and I am high while perceiving it (“medical” marijuana and lots of strong black coffee) but I don’t believe that fact undercuts the accuracy of the perception nor the judgement, at least not in this example!
Rock on!
