The Weaver and the Catfish. Screen capture: FetchQuester

A brooding sun was ill-met from its quarters,

Went down to the river, raised my wreath to its daughters,

Found my prowl by the ol' bayou bay.

The lunge of the lunar couldn't contain me,

Nor the husk of the char had a song to sustain me:

What the wild weave of haunts left astray -

A chorus of gullets all swayin' and stompin'

A ruse for the hour when the nightmares come rompin'

The rapt'rous catfish cabaret.

Old music. Screen capture: FetchQuester
