There once was a man from Peru2
There once was a man from Peru Whose shoes were a bright shade of blue He tripped on a rock And fell into a flock Of llamas, who said "How do you do?"

There once was a man from Peru
There once was a man from Peru Who owned a pet kangaroo They'd hop and they'd bounce And do tricks by the ounce 'Til they landed in Timbuktu!

Dune
Cinnamon sands breathe an ocean, tame but wild and echoing within my skin I am a reflection of your longing, A palace of copper stolen from the mouths of silent archetypes I burn from your touch though I do not feel your distance, I move at your kiss, though it is felt in the sight of sound I overwhelm through the power of my forces of nature; I am like lightning moving in summer Though I am gentle. I will never blind you with the stutter of my flesh.
