True story, Ivor …
I once had a Hare Krishna friend
who lived up a tree at Jan Juc π²
A tree house he had built himself,
with a wonderful view of the coast.
The artwork is so surreal. I liked the black and white version better than the psychedelic one, but thatβs probably because I brood too much. I loved the song. Iβd never heard of Molly Tuttle before, so thanks for introducing me to her.

UNDERTOW ~ by Nitin Lalit
Weβre swept away by the strong undertow
When the current beckons us elsewhere
Warring with ourselves and quenching spiritβs glow
Weβre swept away by the strong undertow
We claim to know the riverβs mysteries and row
To picturesque shores but end up the worse for wear
Because weβre swept away by the strong undertow
When the current beckons us elsewhere
Being on a tropical sabbatical,

I had been visiting your new
site, and just found your update.
You are living proof Nitin that
you can’t keep a great poet down.
I doubt Iβm great. I try my best. I have a bunch of people who like what I do and another bunch who probably hate it. No problem. Just wanted to know if you received the mail. Itβs good to take sabbatical. I prefer the mountains but the tropics are fine. Good food and wine lol
It’s been a cold wet winter down
under in Australia. Anywhere warm,
and dry, is like paradise.
When it gets hot again I’ll probably
be dreaming of Kathmandu in the
dry season. Or perhap Jaipur.
Great to hear from you again, Nitin.
Beautiful song sung by Molly on feminine similarity. Beautiful voice of Molly. You are first to put up this important point.Well done,dear Redpath!! My regards for you. Yeah,women is like the rain to water beauties in all world and life.πβ€οΈπ

Rumour has it that Heimdall the Norse god guarding the Bifrost rainbow bridge to Asguard once found himself in a psychotherapy group encounter session with Uncle Ernie.
The end result was that he returned to guarding the Bifrost rainbow bridge as a drag queen.
The Norse trickster god Loki, who saw the whole thing unfold, coined the term “She’s a rainbow” that inspired this song.
That’s no coincidence, for once.
Uncle Ernie’s most popular drag
show extravaganza was ‘Hammer
Me Quickly ~Thor Love or Money’.
It was more of a Gilbert and
Sullivan type operetta, having an
actual storyline, with Uncle Ernie
playing the role of Brunhild, a
a shieldmaiden who’d fallen on
hard times after losing her shield
at an after battle party (she’s
more a Valkquery than a Valkyrie).
Poor Brunhild is reduced to
working the streets of Asgard as a
prostitute under the nom de guerre
of Bunhelder, with Loki as her pimp.
Thor plays the role of the nice guy,
of course, who instantly falls for
this fallen battle maiden (with the
face of a battle axe, as no amount
of make-up can hide Uncle Ernie’s
weathered countenance) and tries
to save Bunhelder from a life of
debauchery. Loki then conspires
with our heroine to steal MjΓΆlnir
from Thor as he sleeps, much like
the Sampson and Delilah story,
but Bunhelder is unable to go
through with Loki’s diabolical plan
after falling in love with Thor and
his big swinging hammer. The play
finishes with the entire cast (of 3)
singing a resounding rendition of
‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC.
Wow.
That sounds like quite the operetta to behold, David.
I wonder if I’ll be able to watch that operetta on PBS Detroit or PBS Spokane which are the two PBS stations that one gets on Cable TV in Calgary.
Though I imagine if the operetta is shown, PBS will wonder why their phones for fundraising have stopped ringing and why the number of new sustaining contributors to PBS amounts to zero. π€
Excellent artwork. I never liked the original “She’s a Rainbow”. Molly’s cover is quite nice.

A coincidence, Christopher, that Uncle
Ernie’s latest drag show extravaganza
‘Cleopatra ~ Queen of the MΓ©nage Γ
Trois’, was inspired by a recent piece
written by you. For some inexplicable
reason Uncle Ernie has been unable to
raise the funds to stage this culturally
significant operetta, despite securing
Bill Crosby to play the role of Julius
Caesar, and Kevin Spacey starring as
Mark Antony.
It’s all been a bit of a mystery as to
why Uncle Ernie’s backers all pulled
out at the last minute, but I guess
he’s use to that β€΅οΈ π
