#72 Hopeless Meets Hopeful

It's a sunny Sunday
With Hopeless Hal
Looking for snow
In the midst of the sand
*
Running to and fro
Hopeless Hal
Does go
Tripping on cactus buds
*
Little does he know
That the snow
Does go
Where the North wind blows
*
Hopeless Hal
Did get himself
To the bus station then
And a ticket he did buy
*
North! To the tundra
Hopeless Hal went
Trailing vomit and strange dreams
From the peyote that he et
*
When the bus arrived
With great smoke and screeching
Hopeless Hal was thrown out
Strung out, hung out, flat on the sidewalk
*
And then did Karma speak
As Hopeful Hannah
Happened by
And saw this man before her
*
She picked him up, cleaned him up
And loved him back to life
And it was the the happiest wedding
That Yellowknife had ever seen
*
Hal built them a house
And Hannah helped him fill it
And her belly did grow
Her name was Hope
*
And she completed them
