about

FAWM 2019 - There are a large number of stories about past heroes returning in times of need. I decided to add another.

lyrics

In England they're waiting for Arthur,
Or the beat of a drum calling Drake.
Here in the new world we've few knights to summon
And a sad lack of ladies in lakes.

But a hill facing south-Georgia swampland
Holds caves where time slows to a crawl.
Sleeping inside is a man and his possum
With a turtle, a gator, an owl…

Come back and save us, Walt Kelly;
Pogo gave wisdom to trust,
Saying that each time we meet our worst enemy,
Turns out that enemy's us.

He was good at detecting Malarkey
And those who wrapped flags around greed.
Porky Pine always had points to consider
So, his is the voice that we need.

Come back and save us, Walt Kelly;
Pogo gave wisdom to trust,
Saying that each time we meet our worst enemy,
Turns out that enemy's us.

If circumstance ever wakes Merlin
Or Kings under mountains should ride
Defending their homelands in times of great danger
I hope they bring Walt by their side.

Come back and save us, Walt Kelly;
Pogo gave wisdom to trust,
Saying that each time we meet our worst enemy,
Turns out that enemy's us.
