Zorba’s Lament
Second Triolet
“If your damned books don’t tell you that,
What the hell do they tell you?”
you probe life blind as a bat
If your damned books don’t tell you that,
you’re in a shit-storm without a hat,
and you’ll never know what to do
If your damned books don’t tell you that,
What the hell do they tell you?

I really like this one... and the Zorba vibe you're surfing gives the series an extra kick.
Oh, yeah, I could hear Zorba saying that...
Love this one even more!
