Endless wonderlands

The river I stepped in Has changed its course No longer through the valleys Of endless wonderlands Now it’s a grind from day to day My back , my knees, my teeth , Are falling apart the brand new Ferrari is more like a clapped out Model T Ford Yesterday seems just like …….. yesterday […]
