I have redone Fortitudes of the Lullaby


I hope you all enjoy it.


I call it ....Fortitudes of the Lullaby.






gold mines of all kinds
twinkle in the in the deck
false mimes in all times
make you make your bet

you drink slow,hang low
see the pearls and gems
you throw down,hold on
someone has 4 tens

why didn't i go with the others
running off to their clocks
they still have all of their lovers
i'm still unlocking locks

break down,make up
from lips of crushed ice
i frown--from way up
and someone rolls more dice

seeing me as the mirror
i ask what do you mean
repeating me after my furor
it says i remain unseen

don't go west just go forward
you don't have to look back
hold up your chest like a new word
there's nothing more to lack

time to do, what you knew
could be there all the time
go now ,show them how
the memory of your line

you didn't go with the others
you had no time to kill
and you didn't have any lovers
because you had to grist the mill


oh what a thrill to have been there; is what i want to say
but you really had to be there; i know it to this day

no locks,no clocks
don't be in your own way
no sin,no win
it's written on their sleigh
i won't,give in
i'll turn the dirt to woods
they don't,live thin
steal their stolen goods


you didn't go with the others
you had no time to kill
and you didn't have any lovers
because you had to grist the mill
