Poet's Corner:
Stone Walls

(To Althea, From Prison )

1:24


Zorak:
(singing) Nobody knows the troubles I've seen, nobody knows but Space Ghost.
Brak:
"Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for a hermitage.
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty."

Hey, Space Ghost, how d'ya like them peaches 'n' herbs?

Ghost:
Eeeeeexcusez-moi?
Zorak:
Brak, explain the meaning of the poem to Space Ghost.
Brak:
Da, um, da - it means every - da - it means everybody has ugly feet!
Zorak:
No, no, NO!
Brak:
Don't count your chickens!
Zorak:
The poem isn't about chickens, it's about freedom. FREE-DOM! Lo, for I have been to the mountaintop, and it's ... it's pretty high up there, I'll tell ya. (rimshot)
Ghost:
Say goodnight, Zorak.
Zorak:
(upside down in his pod) Goodnight, Zorak.
