stuff comes in
stuff goes out
some creatures stay
some go away

Ole Uncle Sammy
My uncle Sammy worked hard; he worked every day.
He made good money, and he put some away.
He made a good living; but then he got older
Ole Sam carried the weight of this world on his shoulders.
I was told that in his gathering of wealth,
he had worked the land, done well, and maintained his health.
He managed to save a little more than he needed
so he squirreled it in the bank where his fortune was seeded.
He figured, you know, everybody's got to eat
so he opened a burger joint, it was quite a feat,
because his humble, capital enterprise
eventually become a growing franchise.
And in America, you know, everyone wanted wheels,
so Sammy expanded into more wheels and big deals;
he got things going, built up a good team;
he was riding in style, living the dream.
But then ole uncle Sammy, one day, up and died,
so we laid him aside; he went out with the tide,
No longer an icon on tracebook, nor twittee,
maybe we'll see him in eternity city.

River runs through US
Sun fire heat radiation flings slings planets orbits
Earth magma rock stone rubble gravel sand silicon chip
Sky air cloud mist snow sleet rain drops
Water current stream brook creek spring gurgle trickle drips
Drips trickle gurgle spring creek brook stream River
River
Life breath move hear see smell feel think do
Eat drink sleep pee shit sleep wake walk work
Work hunt gather slaughter harvest winnow store
Store winnow harvest slaughter gather hunt work
Work buy sell prosper town street city ride sail travel drive fly
Fly
It all happens, by n' by.
