Rock the Earth

The Little Copenhagen Mermaid.

When I was young and Santa old
And children did as they were told
I’d gaze at fish a-cycling along the Milky Way
Behind them pigs would loop the loop
As scented breezes cooled my soup
And elephants, both white and pink, a-whistling would play;

In rhubarb trees they’d build their nests,
As politicians combed their crests
While working for ‘The Populus’ throughout the live-long day.
Now Candy mountains, butter too,
Have dropped us in the Irish stew
And wine lakes, shining shore to shore, tempt us to sail away

From truth, responsibility,
And wise but dull maturity,
Straight to the sirens call are we drawn closer every day.
In pea-green boats upon a lake
of lucozade our thirst we slake
while breathing clouds of candy-floss the golden geese will lay

then we will gorge on golden eggs
as we bestride the world on legs
made out of malted-whisky kegs we flew down from Strathspey.
And foaming ‘champers’ at the mouth
We’ll strip the world from north to south
And calling Truth a blabbermouth, we’ll sing, “Calloo, Callay.”

And then the dreaded Jabberwock,
we’ll meet before we’ve taken stock
that nothing is there left to hock to pay the pipes to play
and nonsense will the last word be
at parties where the mushroom tea
is brewed by madder hats than we. Let’s desperately pray!

I am involved with a great company called JavaFit that has just introduced a new fundraising program for non-profit organizations. The program is called "JavaFit Gives Back". I'm looking for organizations needing to raise money for their respective causes. "JavaFit Gives Back" is the brainchild of the Javalution Coffee Company, a six year old, publicly-traded coffee company based in Florida. The fundraising program gives your organization the ability to raise residual income through the sale of "Functional Coffee". The coffee has four different functions - Energy, Diet, Focus and Immune as well as a Gourmet blend. Around December 1st, Java Fit is also introducing an Organic coffee, a Whole-Bean Coffee and a Decaf Coffee (made with a Swiss water process so NO formaldahyde!) JavaFit also has four "Functional Lattes" in Energy, Diet, Focus and Immune for latte lovers, as well as a single serve teabag type functional coffee coming out soon! If you have a desire to raise an ongoing residual iincome for your non-profit organization through "JavaFit Gives Back", please email me at slaterk81@nycap.rr.com. I welcome any and all inquiries. Your organization can profit beyond belief with this program. We have some churches in the Dallas area already taking advantage of the program. It doesn't cost anything for your organization to get involved - nothing to purchase upfront or ever, and your customers can join for free too! You owe it to your organization to check this out...you'll be glad you did!
