"...I wonder
If there's been a population explosion
In heaven and the angels

Have migrated to Tuscaloosa. ..."

  6. Sometimes I think there has been, and Tuscaloosa sounds like a place they'd go to. Except I've actually met some and it wasn't there, but in Qoaling.

    Wonderful, wonderful line to write.
