Imaginary landscape
(i)
I came to the table and found a peculiar puzzle
I browsed the puzzle and soon discovered a street
I paced the street anon I arrived at a jumble
I peered in the jumble until I descried a moat
I crossed the moat on a leaf and entered a castle
I ascended its silent tower and admired the view
no bell was tolling they said it was such a hassle
but I could see all the way to Timbuktu
(ii)
In Timbuktu I lived for a hundred years
then I shipped out on a freighter heading for Lisbon
I wangled a job at an inn dispensing beers
the habitues included many a has-been
one summer I took a stroll thru an art exhibit
installed in the basement of a crumbling castle
drawn to the lode no diffidence could inhibit
I came to the table and found a peculiar puzzle
