IVORY TOWER

Picture the beautiful maiden

Trapped in an ivory tower,

Imprisoned there by demons,

Yet as lovely as a flower!

Though granite walls surround her

She sings a sweet refrain....

'I will wait here at my window

Till my lover comes again',

The sweetness of the jasmine,

The glow from the sunset sky

Are as nothing compared to her beauty,

Though a tear falls from her eye.

At last she hears a whistle!

Her lover has come again!

Riding his ample white steed

Back to his own domain.

My lady's heart is lightened,

She fears not one mishap.

Her faithful lover will save her;

He is ready for a scrap.

What a beautiful picture,

A montage from the past!

Her lover wins the battle

And she is his at last!

THE NEXT STEP

I'm all for marking time

And staying in one spot.

My life is such a pleasure to me.

I'm happy with what I've got.

I don't want to step backward,

Though I found pleasure there;

I don't want to step forward

Into what could be thin air.

Left, right, left, right, marking time,

With no 'next step' at all.

That may be rather wimpish,

But then, I'm having a ball.
