Oh, Natalie, YOU ARE SO POEMY.

It's time for one of my POEMS! The first two lines of this work of genius (just kidding) are borrowed from Jim Henson's Cantus Fraggle - enjoy!

"A Night Adventure"

Well, when the path is steep and stony
And the night is all around
The possibilities are endless
It's a world without a bound


You could swim in the mountains
Or climb up the sea
Every door is open
There's no need for a key

You could take a peek in Pandora's Box
Without any risk of danger
You could talk to all the world at once
No one is a stranger

You could dance in cerulean sunbeams
Or sail on a ship made of glass
You could jump in piles of ice cream
A giant Neapolitan mass

You could fly with dolphins
Or float in the breeze
Worry, anger, guilt - they're gone
Your mind can be at ease

All the world's a spotlit stage
For you to go and play on
Envision life like Harold
With his magic purple crayon

What it is possible to imagine
Will never disappear
The dawn will come eventually
But don't waste time on fear

You'll have time again tomorrow night
For this wild fun
But for now open your tired eyes
This adventure's done

Thank you all for reading! I won't leave you with just that, though. Anyone been watching the Olympics? No?! Then check out this amazing coverage by Michael Buckley: http://www.youtube.com/user/bucknews?blend=2&ob=1. Also, watch the Ice Dancing. It is superb.

In the words of Buck, "Oh to be a fly on my brain".
