The Pirate of Death Holds the Monkey's Tail.

In line at the Happiest Place on Earth.  What are we waiting for? I am reminded of a Memento Mori painting, a still life with a bowl of fresh fruit and a skull.  Dutch, 18th century.  Or that beautiful youth with a skull by Franz Hals.  Back then, people liked to be reminded of the brevity of life.  No one thought they would live forever.  Nobody had told them it would all be fun and games.    

Dreamland opened in 1904.  It's gone now.  I rest my case.
