In the winter of our dismay*

Acting Gandalf? I'm just a guest.

Such a world as this,
slopping 'round in the sty,
to point me's a miss.
Vote for 'nother good guy.

Though we'd have such a one,
what could s/he act'ly do
to make what we made undone?
Fruitless even, ya see, to sue.

Take care this and thy own.
Rely on what little you can.
May small seeds each we've sown
bear fruit for women and man.

No savior but me I see
in this global-all mess.
So to myself I must be
help to us close my own--

Thus model for me 'nd your rest.
