What is this strange place? A collage of fresh dreams What is playing on the TV bolted to the tree? Wonderful stimulation pushing me up the stream. I've never seen a sky so blue. I've never seen plants so green. I've never seen a sunset so red. Or a waterfall so silvery. Am I in the Amazon? It is where I've always wanted to go. The TV conducts humanity without words. Fused to a symphony of birds. Should I swim up and down the river? Or eat bananafruit so sweet Am I alone in this green paradise? My decadence catches a monkey eye Sweeping winds as warm as a sauna Did I just see a rainbow iguana? And this TV set bolted to the tree Harmony. Who ever heard of this place? They call it the lungs of the Earth I am inspired! I leap like a cat! When I'm not doing acrobats. Swimming down the river A swarm of fish, what a massage! They swirl and flow At the riverbank, I feel aglow Never mind the hustle and bustle of the big city I have frogs and parrots! The Amazonian TV, a transmission of life! Anytime the city gets too much, I will return to the Amazon! The Amazonian Government unites love and goodwill With fortitude and thrills! I am like an astronaut, sampling vital organics Should I call the TV "rainbow electronics"?

Amazonian TV
Do you breathe with your lungs? Or with your throat Maybe you have respitory troubles Like a goat Do you drink too much soda? All that syrup and bubbles . . . . Soda pop is not water you know There could be trouble Do you have trouble using the toilet? Constipation will spoil it Don't be lax about laxatives Maybe your colon needs to give Do you have ADD or ADHD? That's like watching 4 television screens How are you supposed to collect information? This is why you may have complications Do you eat too fast? Your energy won't last Eat hard bread that you must chew Stop drinking Mountain Dew Do you get enough sunlight? Every minute matters Sit outside when you can Maybe you will chatter In two years from today you could be strong That's what's wrong You want the future to arrive now You have to wait, anyhow What music do you like? I find melodies to be wishful and sad Dance beat music makes blood flow Not that melodies are always bad Broken hearts may never heal There's still much you can do Save somebody else from this fate you have Be true
