From deep iffside these prison walls,
I dream again of ivory halls.
I think back to days gone by,
Of soft brown hair and trembling thigh.
I remember now the warm soft kisses
Given me by my love, my missus;
Of warm golden days I now remember,
And fanning our love from a tiny ember;
Of earthly days and heavenly nights,
My wonderful memory now takes flight.
Oh, she who I love has now grown cold,
And has to another her affections sold.
But I for her do not despair,
For now I have not the least to care...
Of her I dream, and the love we gave
From deep inside my cold, dark grave.

Man has divided into three
All divided in life
Blaspheme man has his misery
Bless man has his generosity
Meditative man has his preception and peace
Yet each is a man
My flesh counterpart linked by
The eternally flowing soul of the divine.

Ocean Drain Plug
Theory Announced
‘The more I know the
less I want to learn.”
- Voigt Lee shortly after
his frontal lobotomy.
“The bottom of the ocean,”
declares Doctor Peter Hall of the
Swuan Ti School of Esoteric
Wisdom, “may be exactly like
your bathtub!” Hall, well known
throughout the Mid-Atlantic
Region for his many
dissertations, then went on to
explain his recent theory about
the possibility of a huge drain
plug being located on the ocean
floor. Although he has not
pin-pointed an exact location,
Doctor Hall believes it to be
somewhere due east of Nag’s
Head, N.C.
“Ah, assuming it is in this
position, that would, ah, put it
in the same spot as Atlantis, the
Lost Continent,” Hall said. He
cites this as being the prime
cause for Atlantis’ sinking, “You
see, the plug popped out for a
couple of minutes.” Doctor Hall
also claims the United States
Government has extensive
knowledge of the plug but
refuses to release it becuase
secret documents on the
Watergate Affair have been
hidden there by C.I.A. frogmen.
Asked what would happen if
the plug were to be pulled for a
long period of time, Doctor Hall
exclaimed, “It’d be just like
Atlantis only bigger! Eventually
all the water ‘id run down and
the whole world would be
sucked in. Everything would be
just the same only inside out.”
At present, Hall is gathering
material for an expedition to the
plug. “It has, he says, “been
hushed up too long.”
