That's cool. My research was on CO2 and O2 humoral oscillations as a driver for exercised induced hyperpnea.

California Dreaming
A poem by Wharfy Ratson (and his mama and papa; both sets.)

Atlas Shrugged.
Socrates Toomey trembled and dropped his cup.
Play Dough muttered prayers of thanks to the 17 Gods, crying, "And you can tell 'Atlantis Bye, Bye , Baby.' I've got my legacy."
Aristophenes frowned, and , pointing to the sky with his middle finger, said, "This is really for the Byrds".
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher, In L.A., you know where that's at.
Homer glanced up from the new born babe, muttering, "So much for Trojans. Better find a way to make money."
Zol, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat
Pliny stood under the door jam,
Da Dead did an cid jam.
Any rand screaming from Russia, yelling in pain as she ruptured her fountainhead. "Clone me back my fountainhead, Dr. Mikey."
Dr. Mikey shrugged, and zap, Anysaurus randicus, in da flesh.
Atlas shrugged again.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zol and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Zolly said "Denny, you know there aren't many"
"Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south"
Denny said "Zolly, golly, don't you think that I wish"
"I could play guitar like you"
Zol, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
"Take me to New York right away"
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
Called John and Zol and that was the Mugwumps
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
Guess it had to be that way
Sebastian and Zol formed the Spoonful
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire
In L.A., you know where that's at
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
Di-di-di-dit dit dit di-di-di-dit, who-o-oa

------ flute ------

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
We knew she'd come eventually
Greasin' on American Express cards
It's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality

Thank you, thank you very much. Elvis has left the building.
