MAN FROM LA MANCHA

Contributed by geordie on Saturday, 20th December 2008 @ 06:03:41 AM in AEST
Topic: HumorPoetry



Man from La Mancha
On a bright and sunny morning
From La Mancha I set sail
With my trusty steed Roginante
In a ship they called the whale

We travelled far across the sea
To a land of the monstrous beast
Three dead arms that’s supposed turn
Facing North or South or East

I hailed a passing stranger
What’s this? that I do see?
A wind farm, is the words he yelped
As he scurried away from me

So this is where the wind comes from
That blows across our sand
There sprouting from the sea bed
And spreading across the land

People move away when they appear
Too late for some I fear
They gobble up the farm land
Then scowl and whine and leer

Are they taking over?
A deception, that they’re great
A futility, we are supposed to love
In reality… we love to hate

Mounted on Roginante
My lance within my hand
I Don Quixote of La Mancha
Will finally! make my stand

Yeah, I guess there's always something lost with every gain technology brings, isn't there?
