Too, too interesting. Let's restore some balance here!

For an atom or molecule in which two transitions are driven by laser beams, a three-state model is used. Transitions among the three states are caused only by the oscillating electric fields of the laser beams. The amplitudes and detunings of the two laser beams, which are various functions of the time, appear in the Schrödinger equation for the atom or molecule. In certain cases, the Schrödinger equation can be solved analytically, to find transition probabilities and the probability of no transition. This is done by using Clausen's special function, or by assuming that the sum of the two detunings is zero at all times. Conditions for complete transfer of the population from the ground state to an excited state are obtained from the analytic solutions.

Home home on the range,
Where the mudcat writers are strange,
They can thrill every Nation,
With their imagination,
But there are some who think they're deranged.

And never is heard,
A discouraging word,

Aw are we doing comedy songs then? Here's my rewrite of The Sally Gardens (The Sadly Gardens)

It was down by the Sadly Gardens, my love and I did meet,
As she crossed the Sadly Gardens, with bad breath- and smelly feet.
The odour was so ran--cid, I could smell her from the pa--rk bench,
Her best friend never told her, she had such an awful stench.

In a field down by the river, my fat love raised her arms,
Three inches of hair in her armpits, did not add to her charms.
Tattoos all over her body, made her look much worse than weird,
And the warts on her nose and earlobes, drew my eyes from off her beard.

It was down by the Sadly Gardens, my love and I did meet,
As she crossed the Sadly Gardens, with bad breath- and smelly feet.
I would not want any another, so no oth--er wi-ll I find,
She is hairy and smelly and ugly, but we all know love is blind.

Version by Mike Hill Nov 2006

Such a sweet sounding song...Best wishes, Mike.

Don't
By Stephen Lee Rich

Don't stick a carrot up your nose
Don't stick a carrot up your nose
Don't stick a carrot up your nose,
Because, carrots don't like that.

Don't teach a buffalo to fly
Don't teach a buffalo to fly
Don't teach a buffalo to fly
Without accident insurance.

Don't drive your car up on the roof
Don't drive your car up on the roof
Don't drive your car up on the roof
It will ruin your suspension.

Bridge:
Don't fill a camel's hump with beer.
Don't force a rabbit to be brave.
Don't build snowmen in Hawaii.
Don't use your elbows to shave.

Don't try to eat a wooden chair
Don't try to eat a wooden chair
Don't try to eat a wooden chair
Without a lot of mustard.

Bridge 2:
Don't fill a camel's hump with beer.
Don't hang you laundry in mid-air.
Don't plant a cactus in Alaska.
Don't leave a rake in your hair.

Don't stick a carrot up your nose
Don't stick a carrot up your nose
Don't stick a carrot up your nose,
Because, carrots don't like that.

Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the pinwheels of your mind

I can't remember what pinwheels I have in the "smaller" numbers of less than 5 digits. But I do have 16091, 16191, 16891, 18081 and 18181.

I think I did upset Rapaire with 18181. At least he did a lot of ostentatious sobbing, and there was all that stuff about his mother's number and me stealing his inheritance. Some people will do anything to get sympathy!

I would never do such a thing. Just because my mother cut me out of her will and didn't leave me any numbers - not even her crummy ones that weren't worth having anyway, and I had to work my fingers to the bone to bring up two children on a pittance, and we were so poor that we nearly always had to live in houses with numbers nobody wanted - like number 13. And just because my collection of pinwheels is all I have to leave my children......No, I would never stoop so low just to get people's sympathy!

Song: Merry-Go-Round



I have tried in vain never had success
So it seems my life is nothing but a mess
I have lost my only friend
Now it seems I have to start again

Merry-go-round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round

Looking for someone
Who would want to stay
I might find her
With a bit of luck one day
But who knows
So until then
I can only try and try again

Merry-go-round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round

Merry-go-round
Where am I bound
With my love and feelings
Merry-go-round
Who wants to kiss me
And hug me and miss me
Yes, who wants to do it
I wish that I knew it
Merry-go-round
Wish I had found
Somebody to care for
Where am I bound
Life is so lonely
If life is just only
To love with my loving
Goes round and round
