Merak,O Merak! Thou Logic is Harsh!: An ode in the popular Metaphysickal Manner
by: Bambi B, Woodland Hills, CA, either 1604 or 2003.
"Oh, Merak, tho faily short, but still so long on brain,
Thou Logic is too Harsh!Where may fly Man, machine, or beast, flit fast far through Time and Space
And this Great Deed we see, a mere dalliance of some future, more Fortunate Time
So gentle done, the doing even need not wake a single Muse,
These Great Flames fortold that mighst the whole Earth Rub out!Thy story is all that restless Dream
That our sleepy souls must watchSo let fly thy Fancy farthest toss'd
On wings of gossamer'd dreams
And make both of these I say:
Of many places Fair
Where Pleasure reigns in drowsy afternoon Peace.
But and here make some of this too:
To Fair to Life! We need see those Places and Persons foul!
And know this the enemy of our very Lives know better than ourself!
We needst know where we needst Look,
Whence Evil drops it's heavy-armed hammer
On mortals Tender such as We.O, Merak thy Logic is too harsh!
It is so much more fair and lovely
That thee thy Heavens and thy Hells
Are the further Out
Than mine.Those that prosper in short, shall liveth longer, those that liveth longer prosper not, for they have paid their way to Eternity on clay boots of dearest reality."
