Choir of Flesh and Metal

Frogs serenade from the swamp
in a throaty competition with
jet engines steaming the sky.

The choir of flesh and metal
sings of ancient wisdom and
the frenzied wings of escape.

By the way... I was listening to Mike Zito on the radio the other day and mentally thanked you for introducing me to his musical magic many years ago. ;-)
