Poem twelve..



           Phillip Le Barr... ..........................Spike Milligan..


   Phillip Le Barr
   Was knocked down by a car
   On the road to Mandalay,
   He was knocked down again
   By a dust cart in Spain
   And again in Zanzibar
   So,
   He traveled at night
   In the pale moonlight
   Away from the traffic's growl
   But terrible luck
   He was hit by a duck
   Driven by an owl

Poem eleven....


                 No goodbye....                       Derek H.

       "Can I please talk to you?"
       "Which one of you to which one of me".. I said.
       "Is it the you that was part of the we,,,.. now dead?"
       "Or is it the you that I see"
       "And this thing now me?"

      "Look just, just talk to me"
      "Fine, I'll talk to the you that I see"... I replied
      "Was it the you that  was part of the we... who lied?"
      "Or were you always and only the you I now see?"

      "So you won't talk to me?"
      "No, I don't know you"...

Carmen: "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle" (Elina Garanca)


I posted a version of this (by Agnes Baltsa) a while back
but this version by Elina Garanca is brilliant, wonderful.

you can't beat a good wallow in sadness


I've been re-reading some of Prof, Cox' stuff, now that is sad,
not the fact I've been reading the Prof's stuff, but what he says.
First the earth will leave the "Goldilocks" orbit in 2-3 billion years
and be swallowed by our sun in it's death throes (humans long
since gone before this happens) that's sad. Next, in about 4 billion
years our galaxy will collide with Andromeda , the end for billions
of stars, that's sad. The span of time these events take seems so
large that it's hard to think they will happen, but they will.
  Finally, in maybe a trillion years or more,( but it will happen,)
our universe will be dead, not a beam of light, no movement,
a cold, dark emptiness, with no events happening even time
will stop.....





The lucky toe- rags, they're all smoking
