No man's land

 A good'un

Many years ago in Brushcreak Georgia

Molly Marlo was a virgin girl

She lived a mile from a fool named Barney Dawson

Hell bent on getting inside Molly's world

He caught her after church one Sunday morning

And took her body with his rough hard hands

And walked off laughing as she lay there crying

Since then she's been known as No Man's Land

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land

Love could never grow in No Man's Land

The men all tried but she denied them

And they sighed and wrung their hands

But they couldn't go walking

In No Man's Land

Molly grew into a luscious beauty

Each man's head would turn as she walked by

And as their hot eyes watched her body moving

They'd swallow hard and shake their heads and sigh

Molly went to school and studied nursing

Now you might laugh but it's an honest fact

The first year that she nursed at Millards Clinic

Six men pretended they had heart attacks

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land

Love could never grow in No Man's Land

The men all tried but she denied them

And they sighed and wrung their hands

But they couldn't go walking

In No Man's Land

Years later Barney Dawson lay in prison

In feverish pain, that suffering shell of a man

He was glad to see the nurse from Millards Clinic

'Til he saw the burning eyes of No Man's Land

Molly Marlo was No Man's Land

Love could never grow in No Man's Land

Barney cried but she denied him

And he prayed and wrung his hands

Now his soul's walking

Through No Man's Land

You know God walked down in the cool of the day

Called Adam by his name

But he refused to answer

Because he's naked and ashamed

Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator

Who's that writin'? John the Revelator

Wrote the book of the seven seals

You know Christ had twelve apostles

And three he led away

He said, "Watch with me one hour,

'till I go yonder and pray."

Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator

Christ came on Easter morning

Mary and Martha came down to see

He said, "Go tell my disciples

To meet me in Galilee."

Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator

Reflections on the number 2

Adam and Eve

Second day of Creation

Cantor's second order of numbers

'The two shall be one'

First prime number

Second person of the Trinity

(traditionally, the son)

Mathematics can be a spiritual discipline

22: an excellent age

'2' implies God wants a friend: you

Without 2, how could you joke?

Where would Charlie Chan and Number One son be -- without 2?

Not to say Dr 2 Man Choo

2 is for you

and me

Baby

I love you too
