Donovan: Atlanta was a city, landlocked,
Hundreds of miles from the area we now call the atlantic ocean.
Yet so desperate the city's desire for tourism
That they moved offshore, becoming an island and an even bigger delta hub
Until the city overdeveloped and it started to sink.
Knowing their fate, the quality people ran away:
Ted Turner, Hank Aaron, Jeff Foxworthy, the guy who invented Coca Cola, the Magician
And the other so-called gods of our legends, though gods they were,
And also Jane Fonda was there.
The others chose to remain behind on their porches with their rifles
And one day evolving to mermaids and sing and dance and ring in the new.
