I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Only by changing ISP's (or paying Earthlink more than twice
the amount I do, to get DSL). I've considered it, but must
wait until I'm sure I can afford it.
