She was more cranky than usual,
As she rummaged through the dumpster.
Damn people, dont throw out nuthin good no more!
But still she rummaged
And there, in the dumpster,
In some old and once ritzy, uptown, and now defunct, stores sack,
Was an old doll, the type girls played with in the late 50s [...]

Song of the Great Zimbabwe
Across the African, winters sky
In the Southern edge of Zimbabwe\r Looking down from the Hill Complex
From on top, of an Ancient Rock\r Oer the mountains steep:

A site, Ive longed to meet;\r Thus, dwells, within this African Valley,
Among the greatest of mans feats\r The great, Great [...]

Rape of the lock by Alexander Pope

I come out after dark to get into my car.
I had to park further away this time.
The moon is new, and the night is very dark.

English Version
A bunch of us guys in the hut
In Nam\r Were playing cards, singing songs;\r In a solo-room, back of the hut\r Lay mad-dog, Sergeant Rook;

When out of the night, he wanted
To fight\r This bully of six-foot-two\r Dog-drunk, smelling like a skunk

Kafka lands resurrected in Crewe
deposited by a silvery alien craft,
And whilst he is wondering what to do
He is asked to show his pass
Or pay an instant one off fine
At a cash dispenser of his choice
