wedding bells sounded across the green moors
but not for the wuthering pair of yore
willie the magic donkey had found love
a venus named peggy the flying horse
ii
together wed under a sycamore tree
me and you and the mule make threely three
and there were no rom-com rules to follow
saragun springs is more real than reality
iii
a chorus of bats and rats sang sweetly
the billies were at the meet and greetly
only sour note was raised by a weasel
who dared asked the scribe what is a greetly
iv
it’s a poetic device quickly quick
designed as a literary trickly trick
inferring moodly mood and suchy-such
like placing your head on a stickly stick
Saragun Springs 
Interesting – In some parts of the UK greetin’ means crying – obviously in billiegit land it has a far happier tone. I was trying to find out the other day if you can use the word wuther as in I will wuther?
that Kathy eh – I believe she’s come home! dd

I love the animal characters and when I say “love,” I mean LOVE, because they’re all lovely……..in their own ways.

…I think it was Bob Dylan who said, “Marriage is an institution and who wants to live in an institution,” no, I’m sure it was him….
The film ELIZABETH has great scenes of folks who ended up with their heads on sticks (rightly or wrongly)…Cate Blanchett is F-ing BRILLIANT in that movie!!! She IS the Virgin Queen!!

Leila – I too avoid the rules. Romance with no conflict –
Barberian
At 8pm on a Thursday night Duke received a call from Sally, his regular barber of five years.
“Duke, this is Sally from ‘Hair Apparent’ where you get your hair cut. I got your number from your sign in at the shop.”
“What’s up Sally? Did someone report me for bad hair? If someone did, I’ll swear that it’s my fault for bad combing rather than your haircut.”
“No, that’s not it. I have a confession.”
“Have you been applying hair remover? That would explain a lot.”
“Please quit kidding, it’s making this confession more difficult. I haven’t been professional; I think inappropriate things about you. My fantasies would make both of us blush. The other barbers have noticed that I spend more time on you than other customers. I know that you initiated the optional head, neck and shoulder rub, but every time I work on you I get warm and tingly. I’m not saying you are the best looking customer that I have, but the way that you treat me as a friend and talk to me during the cut, you probably don’t even realize it, but you make me feel important. You seem very smart without talking down to me. So many customers treat me as more of a machine than a person.”
“So who is your best looking customer? Maybe I swing the other way and might be interested.”
“Duke, stop it! I’m trying to be serious. I know what I’ve been doing and thinking is wrong. I suppose you didn’t notice me rubbing up against your arm when you put it on the armrest. I’m so deluded; I’ve checked your hand for a wedding ring. Anyhow, I probably won’t even be able to cut your hair anymore because management is not happy with one of the barbers mooning over a customer. In order to spare me any more embarrassment, could you find another barber?”
“I suppose, the haircuts weren’t that good anyway, even though I came in once a week. It was mostly about seeing you. If you think your fantasies are good, I should tell you some of mine. I also noticed your lack of ring. It appears I’ve been hiding my feelings even better than you. Should we date a respectable amount of time before marrying?”
