Donovan Lives Forever

Every Summer they tell him the same thing -
"You're never getting this one back";
Every Summer young Donovan sets out
To liquidate this lack;

Every Summer he comes to the same
Conclusions all over again;
Every Summer that taste of foreboding -
Ignored, of course - and then,

Every Summer he turns to the strange old
Machine that he found by the shore;
Every Summer he says, "I need this just
A little more";

Every Summer we strive along
The same old, worn out track;
Every Summer is this one, forever,
'Cause Donovan brought it back.

Three times tonight/today, my brain has forced me out of bed in order to write something - in none of those cases something I am sure will still seem to have merit in the morning. Heck, one of them is this post! You can be certain that the Colonel will be hearing about this.

Furthermore, my shift key has become erratic. Insert ferocious scowl.
