does loch ness contain a monster

does loch ness contain a monster

or indeed

lake erie

some great sulfurous serpent

who one day will eat

belle isle

and vomit it back up again

on the canadian side

reborn

of fire and ashes

can it be a forgotten pharoah's 

wing-ed curse

or an ashen seed

carrier smoldering from dresden's firestorm's

o river rouge

another dark lord

extracting tribute in dioxide fury

scorched sky policy

alright

has some vengeful demon

risen, rekindled

to belch blackened horror into skies once fair

serve it up

cram it into our gagging mouths

the great flaming

pie in the sky

floyd - 1969
