This poem is by Derek McMillan (and Omar Khayyam - but he doesn't need the money!)
"Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
"The whiteness of this loaf cannot surpass the whiteness of thy breast
Though wine be red thy sweet lips put it to the test
"No mere poem can to thy beauty compare
Thy singing fills my heart and beautifies the air
"Yet the wilderness is far from home I fear...."
"It's OK Omar I'll drive, I know the way from here."
"And Wilderness is Paradise enow."
