intro -  C

                         
A funny pilgrim on a crazy crusade
                                  
a saucy chaucer, a sorry chapter mislaid
                                                            
whittled with an exacto-knife plumb right thru my load-bearing wall
                         
im horrified now i could do such a thing
                        
but i thought i saw the singer
                                     
ive heard those chimes so many other times
                            
but if i gave in it had to've been
                                   
i whupped it out and destroyed my selfish cocoon
                             
since i gave in it had to've been
                                  
'n' i gave in , i hope it had to've been
                            
im not an optomist... im not a realist
                                      
i might be a sub-realist  but i cant substantiate
                                  
it was bigger than me and i felt like a sick child 
                                 
dragged by a donkey   thru the myrtle

have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
