Thread Name: Lyr Req: a worm song
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: a worm song
I once wrote a song -- possibly the only blues to be inspired by statistical mechanics -- that contained the stanza
Ropes knot and snarl
If you just let them be.
No river runs
Straight down to the sea.
Crooked ways are billions,
Straight ways, ones and twos,
All the worms are singing those
Degree-of-freedom blues.
When I put that up in my commune, someone drew on it a cartoon of a worm singing "Mammy!"
