[Hes]

Better dash...I've managed to eek out my lunch for long enough...there is a rather large hare waiting to be printed in my studio. See you later.

[Derby Tup]

Thanks Hes! I saw the birds this morning flying overhead on my daily drive through Leeds, and started counting them as they flew by. First two lines came straight to me but last line took all morning

Which hare is this? A scotart?

[Derby Tup]

The tusks that clashed in mighty brawls
Of mastodons, are billiard balls.

The sword of Charlemagne the Just
Is ferric oxide, known as rust.

The grizzly bear whose potent hug
Was feared by all, is now a rug.

Great Caesar's bust is on the shelf
And I don't feel so good myself.

Scotart? I'm sure Hes said she was English.

[Harry H Howgill]

That's great. I like that.

Apart from you not feeling so good!

The tusks that clashed in mighty brawls
Of mastodons, are billiard balls.

The sword of Charlemagne the Just
Is ferric oxide, known as rust.

The grizzly bear whose potent hug
Was feared by all, is now a rug.

Great Caesar's bust is on the shelf
And I don't feel so good myself.

Hot water above
Cup of tea in the shower
Hot water inside

That's lovely Hes. Sad, but still lovely.

To Say Before Going To Sleep
by Rainer Maria Rilke

I would like to sing someone to sleep,
have someone to sit by and be with.
I would like to cradle you and softly sing,
be your companion while you sleep or wake.
I would like to be the only person
in the house who knew: the night outside was cold.
And would like to listen to you
and outside to the world and to the woods.

The clocks are striking, calling to each other,
and one can see right to the edge of time.
Outside the house a strange man is afoot
and a strange dog barks, wakened from his sleep.
Beyond that there is silence.

My eyes rest upon your face wide-open;
and they hold you gently, letting you go
when something in the dark begins to move.

That's lovely Hes. Sad, but still lovely.

I liked that too

[Derby Tup]

Nice new avatar merry, but what's happened to the dog?
