Stopping by Delicate Arch on a Snowing Evening

STOPPING BY DELICATE ARCH ON A SNOWY EVENING
Ooooo! It’s so pretty–-qua qua qua.
The sky and the red rock and the camera angle-–qua.
And the angry mob of smiling people;
a-a-b-a, b-b-c-b, et cetera.
Ooooo! Ku-ku gi-gi, poo-poo pee-pee.
And click-click; qua qua: tu-tu fi-fi;
It’s all so pretty and nice--qua qua;
c-c-d-c, d-d-d-d; di-di-di-di
It’s the last night of the year;
It’s the last night of the year;
It’s the first day of the year;
It’s the last night of the year.
Tu-tu fi-fi, tu-tu fi-fi; fi-fi fu-fu, fi-fi-fi.
Click-click. And a whole mile and a half to walk--qua.
"Get out of the goddam picture!"--qua qua:
Keep a deep sleep; keep a deep sleep. Et cetera.
