Monkee Love

Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues.
It cannot be a part of me,
For now it's part of you.

Careful plays on fields
That seem to vanish when they're in between
And softly as I walk away
In freshly tattered shoe.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you.

Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.

Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news.
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you.

Well, Sunshine, ragtime
Blowing in the breeze.
Midnight, looks right
Standing more at ease.

According to Wikipedia, Tapioca Tundra was recorded for the Monkees' fifth studio album.
Released in 1968, THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES coincided with the year
their TV show was cancelled.

Despite all the intrigue surrounding the sessions that produced The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees, several songs stand out as some of their finest recorded work. "Tapioca Tundra", an experimental piece of poetry put to music by Michael Nesmith, charted well as the B-side to "Valleri" at #34.
"Auntie's Municipal Court", another Nesmith composition, featured an excellent double lead vocal by Mickey Dolenz and Nesmith, and "Zor and Zam" boasts some of the best Dolenz vocals ever recorded.
Veteran Monkees tunesmiths Boyce and Hart contribute another classic to the proceedings in the psychedelic "P.O. Box 9847", while Davey Jones submits perhaps his finest composition to date in the orchestral "Dream World".

When Mr. Hobbes, Chancellor pro tem of the Lewis Carroll School of Logic,

a BONUS VIDEO recorded in October, 2012.

Michael Nesmith performed Tapioca Pudding before a live audience in England.

The song is prefaced by the meeting of two minds.
One of them is Mark Twain and the other is Rudyard Kipling.
