"Song Of The Dove"
Learned scholars, you with stacks of dollars, far
fetched dreamers, wily schemers, sellers and
buyers, regular liars, self effacing politicians,
haughty patricians, you strong willed and highly
skilled, drivers of gurneys, adept attorneys,
brewers of broth, men of the cloth, gamblers at
tables, grooms in stables, carny hawkers, street
walkers, you on whalers and other sailors,
commander-in-chief, diabolical thief, landscape
painters, virgin tainters, you critics choice with
golden voice, clock watchers and known
debauchers, smile wearers and profane swearers,
jocks and jammers, computer programmers, fourth
estaters and wall street traders. Call me not to
join you I have other things to do. I have a woman
to love and the only call I answer is the song of
the dove.
