*grin* to the Oracle - Grimjac100 - 12-24-2004
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to Man
Down to a sunless sea...
Hehe...yes, got the rest memorized, too. One of my favorite poems, right up there with `Jabberwocky' and `Fire & Ice'...

Ahh, yes, the classic and original version.
I know a friend who likes the version below. In fact, these are the lines that pop into my head whenever I think of Xanadu.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
an unsuspecting rube name John.
Sorry, just couldn't resist.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope Santa is good to you.

There's an unclassic version???
Only other version I know of is from Rush, off `A Farewell To Kings'...
On a complteely unrelated note...Merry Christmas to all! (or the winter solstice festival term of your personal choice)
