...in the desert

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things


There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds


The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red


After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things


there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground


And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la...

THE ARTICLE: A highway truck accident never sounded so delicious. A semitrailer hauling Hungry Jack pancake syrup collided with a highway median at the Buttermilk Pike overpass in northern Kentucky, causing the truckload of syrup to spill all over the highway.

And the comments this time...well, I can't help myself  -- "They were "tasty treat for anyone hungry for laughter"!!!



Cool Breeze posted: "Hungry Jack syrup truck spills onto Buttermilk Pike" ... Funniest headline yet! One could add: "Clean-up workers had a lot on their plate today!"

ohreally posted: Where was Aunt Jemima when all of this happened? No alibi, gunshot residue, pancake mix tracks and a blown out tire on Buttermilk Pike. Just sounds like too much of a coincidence.

Deb posted: The ants on the side of the road must think they died and went to heaven.

Last one for the trash talk --- I could go on and on...the comments were just overwhelmingly funny for this article. I love it!!!! So, for this week, I'll close with this one:
