Avalon

they were called in to investigate,
and they knew of a perfect crime -
the glittering knights of an Avalon
deposed had staged an offshore scheme-
there were apples and crates beyond
our comprehension,
and the general, he sighed as he sat me down:
"you can't see it now, but through the orchard
and over all our heads, there's a beauty we can't fathom -
so we'll trip over our weapons to get to it, and boy it can't be
far now. it can't be far now.."
so i was versed in all the orchard-speak,
had learned to divide McIntosh from the tribes of Fuji and
the defiant Braeburns -
and i knew it was a perfect crime,
a glittering knight of an Avalon deposed,
i'd staged a dappled onshore scheme,
and i can't see it now, but i'll trip over my weapons -
and it can't be far now.
it can't be far now.
