Yesterday, I lost my blue unicorn. I left him gazing in the fields and he disappeared. I will pay handsomely for any lead. The flowers he left behind will not tell me a thing. Yesterday, I lost my blue unicorn. I do not know if he ran away. I do not know if went astray. And I have but one blue unicorn. If anyone knows where he is, I beg you tell me. I’ll pay a hundred thousand, a million. For I lost my blue unicorn yesterday. Now he is gone.
My unicorn and I became friends. Partly through love, partly through honesty. with his indigo horn he would catch a song. Knowing how to share it was his greatest joy. Yesterday, I lost my blue unicorn. It may seem like an obsession. Yet I have but one blue unicorn. And even if I had two, he is the one I love. For yesterday, I lost my blue unicorn. And now he is gone. Silvio Rodriguez.

My Blue Unicorn (Silvio Rodríguez)
Yesterday, I lost my blue unicorn.
I left him gazing in the fields and he disappeared.
I will pay handsomely for any lead.

I do not know if he ran away.
I do not know if went astray.
And I have but one blue unicorn.
If anyone knows where he is, I beg you tell me.

Love it, Noel! I wonder how many NYers passed this poster and never even noticed it.
