      From: andronicus451@gmail.com              CEMETARY GATES              A dreaded sunny day, so I meet you at the cemetery gates       Oh, Keats and Yates are on your side       A dreaded sunny day, so I meet you at the cemetery gates       Keats and Yates are on your side       While Wild is on the mine              So we go inside, and we gravely read the stones       All those people, all those lives, where are they now?       With their loves, and hates, and passions just like mine       They were born and then they lived and then they died       Seemed so unfair - I wanted to cry              So you say "Oh, Lord, salutations to the Dawn!"       And you claim these words as your own       But I've read well and I've heard them said       Some hundred times, maybe less, maybe more              If you must write prose or poems       The words you use should be your own       Don't plaguerise or "take on loan"       There's always someone, somewhere       With the big nose       Who knows       Who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall       Who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall              A dreaded sunny day, so I meat you at the cemetery gates       Keats and Yates are on your side       But you lose       Because wild lover Wild was one the mine              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
