            <text>THE CLUB HOUSE&#13;
&#13;
A good vibration&#13;
An ocean of music&#13;
That sets the soul spinning&#13;
Waves of people dancing&#13;
Gyrating bodies&#13;
Silhouetted under psychedelic lights&#13;
An atmosphere so free.&#13;
Uninhibited -&#13;
An aura of harmony&#13;
Electrifies the nervous system&#13;
Giving the party spirit - Inspiration!&#13;
A function that functions&#13;
Swinging and swaying&#13;
Like a well lubricated machine&#13;
Functioning smoothly - without friction.&#13;
A journey in a natural world&#13;
Where the language is universal&#13;
Music - spontaneous and continuous&#13;
Its a real happening&#13;
The Club House aura.&#13;
It's captivating!&#13;
