About
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean
So great an area of land that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the south
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails
To them East Africa was a neighbor
Across a short strait of sea miles
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of the Atlantian culture
The antediluvian kings colonized the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships
To all corners of the Earth, on board were the Twelve
'The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends'
Though Gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing
And dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis
~Donovan "Atlantis" [1968]

"What If" is a game for scholars.
This is my little slice of heaven. I am going to let people post here, since I don't know how this works yet. All I ask is 1) no undue profanity, 2) stay on subject, and 3) when I start waxing Lion in Winter...RUN!!!
