The age of Heroes has gone by,
The shining armour’s tarnished.
Dragons are nowhere to be found,
And the Damsel is a Duke.
Values weak and morals loose,
Vulgarity becomes the norm.
People fight over silly names,
And kill for a pair of shoes.
Now just sit back and take in stock,
Of frightening pictures painted.
We can escape to distant fires,
A place to live again.
Where grass is green and never smoked,
Where men are strong and women true.
This is a place to rest your brow,
This valley of my dreams.

Pam, I am busy packing and polishing my cane. I am coming to live in your dream even if I have to hobble all the way there with my cane! I hope I can find space by that beautiful waterfall!
I love your dream valley!
