Earth Revisited?

Planet Earth is a tavern?
The door is open wide,
All are invited
To enter inside.
We pay with a handshake
For diet pepsis and romantic stares,
To bury away
Our worries and tears.
We dance to the rhythm
Of human hearts` beat,
Planet Earth is a tavern
Where all people meet!
The melodious soft voices
Ripe as fermented raspberries,
The secrets of romancing the stones
They are willing to teach.
Life is indeed a tavern ...
Before it closes down
I am gonna dance to the music
While I am revisiting uptown.

Nameless creature;
do you care to explain
what you mean by crap?

A word of strong presence
but cryptic in its denunciation
of the poor lover trapped
in stone...:-)

Also I do understand ``whats in a name? Would a rose
by any other name smell as sweet?``

But do tell your name next time..
