THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It’s but little good you’ll
do watering last year’s crops.
-- George Eliot, Adam Bede

SITREP
i have had my ups and downs
but wotthehell wotthehell
yesterday sceptres and crowns
fried oysters and velvet gowns
and today i herd with bums
but wotthehell wotthehell
i wake the world from sleep
as i caper and sing and leap
when i sing my wild free tune
wotthehell wotthehell
under the blear eyed moon
i am pelted with cast off shoon
but wotthehell wotthehell
do you think that i would
change
my present freedom to range
for a castle or moated grange
wotthehell wotthehell
cage me and i d go frantic
my life is so romantic
capricious and corybantic
and i m toujours gai toujours gai
-- from "the song of mehitabel," Don
Marquis, Archy
and Mehitabel
Mehitabel: Poet of the gutter.
(Thanks to all those who asked after my health. Much
better now; not yet "toujours gai" but not yet
"clinically sad" -- as Alan
Partridge would say -- either)
