his accent</div> <div> until that band from Britain</div> <div> was breaking down the airwaves</div> <div> and I was growing my hair</div> <div> from a buzz down to my ears</div> <div> and he happened to mention</div> <div> quite casually that he had lived</div> <div> two doors down from John Lennon</div> <div> It didn't matter that it was years before</div> <div> it sure improved my hearing </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Battle Lines</div> <bR> <div> We lived in fear of that damn bird</div> <div> who thought the yard its own </div> <div> and nothing moved or came therein </div> <div>  without a feathered challange </div> <bR> <div> so many times he sent us screaming </div> <div> back to the safety of the veranda</div> <div> that we had to train the dog </div> <div> to get our errant ball</div> <bR> <div> until the day we went to town</div> <div> my brother asked  to stay at home  </div> <div> to study in the great outdoors</div> <div> while soaking up the sun </div> <bR> <div> the story never clear </div> <div> why he choose </div> <div> that lofty place to study </div> <div> and climbed upon the roof</div> <bR> <div> nor who challanged who  </div> <div> but dark eyes returned the look </div> <div> of little beady ones</div> <div> across that shingled battle roof</div> <bR> <div> its said  </div> <div> the war raged  high </div> <div> and the war raged  low</div> <div> until the axe came into play </div> <bR> <div> and its cold blade swung</div> <div> that summer day </div> <bR> <div> the rooster </div> <div> chased no more</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td>
