"Reap the Crop That You Sow"

It's time that you give up the show
For people who just don't know
It's time that you live in the glow
And reap all the crop that you sow.

'No Word Need Be Spoken'

No word need be spoken
Your presence is enough
You mend my heart that's broken
You smooth my soul that's rough.

'Back to Believing'

Back to believing,
. . Hope on the rise
Sunlight relieving,

"At Least They're Good With Knives"

Nightmare and Horror Show
Tied the knot
And ruined their children's lives.

"Nightmare," said Horror Show
"Their lives are completely shot."

"Horror Show," said Nightmare
"Yes, that is their lot
But at least they're good with knives."

Voyage Trans-Pacific

Ship worm pierced your hull
. . On voyage trans-Pacific
. . . Waves crashed in
. . . . But then a lull
Saved you end horrific.

Need Help Interpreting N. C. Wyeth

Grateful Dead Song: "Black Muddy River"

Jerry Garcia

When Tom Weaver told us Thursday night at the weekly Little Grill open mic that we'd probably never heard 'Black Muddy River' by the Grateful Dead, he was right — at least in my case. But what a song it is:

When the last rose of summer pricks my fingers
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone

Lyrics by: Robert Hunter
Music by: Jerry Garcia

Kinda overshadowed the rest of us by a mile.
