MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

Dean Martin - It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

WHIRLIGIG # 402 

 tis written

it's  the time

of carolings 

of open log fires

of mistletoe and egg nog

enjoy the spirit of Christmas

dispense with the cloudy gloom

paint the sharp twigs gold

and decorate the broken gate

invite the frail old neighbours in for a drink

 not too much port 

trembled limbs  on the tiles

not a pretty sight

 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "The Darkling Thrush" by Thomas Hardy: gate, broken, fires, sharp, cloudy, spirit, twigs, frail, gloom, carolings, written, trembled

I will give my love an apple, Andreas Scholl....Sunday Muse # 240

 I will give my love an apple without e'er a core,

I will give my love a house without e'er a door,

I will give my love a palace wherein she may be,

And she may unlock it without any key.

(Traditional English Folk Song )

 

 

lost his bow

 looks like it will be 

a pizzicato session

with someone

playing the spoons
