down by the riverside

an 8k walk we took
our muscles to spook
from pontoise to auvers-sur-oise along its river
what’s good for the heart is good for the liver

but absinthe did not make van gogh’s heart fonder
nor did dr gachet rid his depression, it was too profonder
starry starry thoughts my mind did ponder
fragile is the line between here and yonder

gonna lay down my sword and shield
down by the riverside
ain’t gonna study war no more
