Today's poet

Fanny Craddock famously said
life is too short to stuff a mushroom.
Days drag while years fly by
and in the final reckoning
life is too short
even for a Haiku

Thought about you last night OW. Craig Charles started his Funk and Soul show with the Revolution will not be televised. He had an interview with GSH the week before plus several tracks from new album, which were very good :cool:

That'll set you up nicely for the day HHH! My daughter number 3 gave me a funny little toy last week, where you press a button, and a Python quote plays.... such classics as 'He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy' etc...
It'll take a long time for me to tire of it. I consider early exposure to the works of Python as essential in child rearing - I reckon at a couple of months, the youngest H will be at their most receptive!

We'll raise a glass to you DT. We know you'll be there in spirit.

Mmmmm i have problems going downstairs NOW!!!!! :eek: but who cares I'm not bothered if I am in pain afterwards as long as I get one Lakeland classic under my belt this year....thanks Harry for the offer to carry me to the bar, I am looking forward to that particular reward!...DT I am gutted that you won't be there, you need to suggest a race for later in the year and us fell poets will endeavour to meet up with you then...i would really like to do xmas on the fells 2010 (not one to plan ahead or anything) but perhaps you could think of one that we could all do sep/oct/nov time?

Ooooooooooooooooooooo....spooky man!

Parting
Emily Dickinson

My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

That sounds like a fantastic little thing. You might be right there in getting them converted early. If it can work for the churches then surely it'll work for the Pythons. :)

That's the spirit freckle, pain is temporary, finishing a lakeland race is a feeling that lasts forever, you'll be reet;)

You'll be having problems downstairs if you are still wearing that pinny of yours. Best take it off for the race. :)

I'll have a think about a race later in the year. There are lots of shows in the Dales around then (Muker / Reeth) which will be kind of central. Otherwise there are Langdale or 3 Shires in the Lakes if you fancy something longer. Could always make it Alwinton show!

Good night fell poets. I'm going to Capetown, South Africa on Tuesday on an overnight flight with work the next day, so an early night is order me thinks ;)

A lovely poem, but I couldn't concentrate watching the video. The poor lass didn't look well. :eek::D

Just noticed this Herakles, no Fawlt in your humour, a Towering post;)

Python

When you talk of comic genius,
There can be only one,
The comic troupe from England,
Monty Python.

I saw silly walks and dead parrots,
And cross dressing when just a boy,
Knights of Ni, naughty boys, Mr Creosote too,
No other comedians have ever given me such joy.


By Herakles.
