I was singing along to a song, thinking about Jack Kerouac.
Coming over the next rise, I never expected to see,
Such a conflagration of Walruses looking back at me.
Passing a lone daisy under the sun set on broil,
They were making their way across the big sandy soil.
Thoughts evolving and revolving inside of my brain,
Led me to believe I might be under a bit of a strain.
Searching for my bottle of purified mineral water,
I quenched my thirst and prayed for no less than an hour.
That these visions of sea mammals would quickly pass.
And leave me to sing songs in my old Cadillac.
