And distance and dreams
Are the stuff of adventure
When shall we set sail?
When shall we set sail
For the Lesser Antilles,
With our cockatoo?
With our cockatoo
Perched upon your left shoulder
You're Long John Silver!
(hi there Lezz, how is the breathing? Is it allergy related?)
You're Long John Silver,
Pegging along on one leg,
Yo-ho-ho my lads!
Yo-ho-ho my lads!
Anyone seen Johnny Depp
Or found a black pearl?
Or found a black pearl
In the big bottle of ink
Mother won't be pleased!
(1 - Just watched the Making of P.O.T.C - Dead Man's Chest. I do hope I die before Johnny Depp grows up - I would hate to be disillusioned!
2 - Hi, Clary - much better thank you - was reaction to the flu and pneumonia shots)
Mother won't be pleased
To look after the grandkids
On Saturday night.
(Lez - I was talking to someone who'd been diagnosed with COPD and after 5 yrs he thinks he's allergic to plastic!)

Down the main highway!
(nothing would surprise me Clary!)

Back along the stream
Where the gypsies are encamped.
They should get a laugh!
They should get: a laugh,
A new haircut, ahead, a
Move or wriggle on.
Move or wriggle on
Don't rue over past
New hopes you should don.
New hopes you should don,
with smiles, outright laughter and
high expectations
(Spidergal, Sugar, remember. Haiku is 5,7,5 syllables even though it sometimes takes the hide.)
High expectations
often lead to regret and
great disappointment
Great disappointment
Ruined his life, and he could
Not get back on track.
Not get back on track?
Surely you jest, because I
Always reach the goal
Always reach the goal
If you're trying to take a
Penalty, my lad.
Penalty, my lad,
Is the key to victory
without exsertion
Without exertion
I played five sets of tennis
Against Agassi.
Against Agassi
there can be no victory
except for Clary's
