English Folk Verse (c.1870) - The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! That's the only portion of this poem I have known up until now, however this year I came across the rest which I have to say I am not in complete agreeance with. Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake...
Well after reading your blogging without obligation post I couldn't agree more. Blogging should be natural, not forced. On the days I don't want to write I just leave a picture. Enough said. I enjoy your pictures so much so I hope you never feel like you have to write something. There are many ways in which to express ourselves and inspire others!

ReplyDeleteI was reading your thoughts on blogging and could'nt help but think what a silly sounding word BLOG is, so i decided to see if i could find the origin of the word blog, and this is what i found.
went for the kind that were mellow and sweet
And the world's sweetest eggs are the eggs of the Kweet
Which is due to those very sweet trout which they eat
And those trout ... well, they're sweet 'cause they only eat Blogs
And Blogs, after all, are the world's sweetest frogs
And the reason they're sweet is, whenever they lunch
It's always the world's sweetest bees that they munch
And the reason no bees can be sweeter than these...
They only eat blossoms off Beezlenut Trees
And those Beezlenut Blossoms are sweeter than sweet
And that's why I nabbed several eggs from the Kweet.
So there it is, a blog is a sweet frog.
Love and peace
T-bone
Hey Bud! That's top!
