Passage Word Association

Post by onewyteduck »

I thought we could take some of the word association games a step further. A passage from a song, poem, or book. Keep it fairly short, in other words, don't post entire lyrics to a song. Let folks focus on the single passage. I'll start with something we should all be familiar with......

Mary had a little lamb.

Are we suppose to:
a) guess where the passage came from, or
b) continue until finished?

a) Mary Had A Little Lamb (Kid's song)
b) ...who's fleece was white as snow (Next line)

I think it's just an association--you say snow, and I think

"So little snow bird take me with you when you go,
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow."

Neither! My passage reminds you of another passage which reminds Cho of another passage and so on and so on!

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

Could you fancy me as a pirate bold or a Longship Viking warrior with the old Gods on his side?

Goddamn them all, I was told, we'd cruise the seas for American gold.

Between the crosses row on row

He's five foot two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
