Essentially the Only One

by Richard

Verse 128

, ,

I moved my lips--the Pilot shrieked
And fell down in a fit ;
The holy Hermit raised his eyes,
And prayed where he did sit.

Parody 128

Something grasped me instantly
out from the maelstrom of the sea.

My mind attached with body there
sat by the Pilot's crazed mad stare,
heard the Holy Hermit's prayer.

No sight or sound of darkling things,
no beat of fallen angels' wings
nor any sight of hellish ship,
no evidence of its dark slip
into places never known
by mortal souls above the foam.

The Pilot mouthed a wretched cry,
flailed his arms against the sky
shouting "Satan if Ye caught our line
then Ye are there at Verse 129!"

:lol: Richard - it's all beginning to remind me (NOT!) of that scene in WSS where Richard Beymer's looking nervously up at the night sky, as he packs crates back of doc's bar and starts to warble ...

Could be!
Who knows?
There’s something’ due any day;
I will know right away
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballin’
Down through the sky,

Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?

It’s only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feelin’ there’s a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Comin’ to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something’s coming, something’ good,
If I can wait!
Something’s comin’, I don’t know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone’ll jingle, door’ll knock
Open the latch!
Something’s comin’, don’t know when,
But it’s soon--
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!
Around the corner,
Or whistling’ down the river,
Come on -- deliver
To me!

Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holdin’ still
It’ll be there!
Come on, something’, come on in,
Don’t be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!

The air is hummin’,
And something’ great is comin’!
Who knows?
It’s only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach.
Maybe tonight.



:lol: :lol: Somehow I don't think TAM had something coming in quite the same way.. ohhhh no! that's for sure! :lol: :lol:

:lol: It does indeed. Good old Stephen Sondheim - who probably knows The Rime very well too.
