Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing?

Not 59th Street Bridge--Victoria, Vancouver Island Canada. Best lampposts and flowers I could find. Beautiful spot.

 

I have been debating if Simon and Garfunkel are Rock Poets or folk singers. Will decide soon. Truth, though, we all must strive to keep feelin' groovy. 

Paul Simon surely wrote profound poetry to lovely melodies.

I'm leaning toward nominating him the Best Rock Poet.

 I must say, though, I feel much more groovy when I'm keeping promises.

The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)

Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.

Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy.

Hello lamp-post,
What cha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.

I've got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all it's petals on me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.
