If...

No, the photo is off Pixabay - I like it, it's a US national park, I believe. The link to the poem was not the original that I had intended: Check out @BBCWorldTonight’s Tweet:

I'll give it a listen @pgntwo You have pretty good taste

@rebelann Here it is - Burns State Park?

The version I wanted to put up was narrated by Barry Davies, but I cannot find a version that is not linked to Twitter. This version, read by Julian Rhind-Tutt, has no music... Sorry about the, ears :(

@pgntwo Thanks for the link. This one is a lot better.

This one is much easier to understand, so long as twitter does not get in the way.

@LadyDuck It is the one I intended to post, but I could not separate the video from the tweet. I know it can be done, but dragging out the laptop to search through the HTML Code for the link to it was too much like hard work...

@pgntwo if @inlemay has If etched on her tray I might get Déjeuner du matin tattooed on my left buttock. The only problems are that I don’t pay people to stick needles in me, I wouldn’t be able to see it, and my butt isn’t big enough.

@xFiacre Nah - if you're going to have needles stuck in you, at least go for a short one, Strickland Gillilan has one that comes to mind: Fleas

Now that's a handy thing to have. I shared this one with @xFiacre recently, not sure it's coffee tray material though, even if, at first glance, it appears that way:

@pgntwo Just went to Manchester this morning before the Orange Men were up, admiring the plumes of smoke rising from the embers last night’s fiires in East Belfast as I lifted up over them. Got back at 7.30 and drove out of airport right into the men marching home. I live very near "the field" and can’t be having the boom boom boom all day so went into exile. Now my hedge has been well watered with orange pee.

Anything like last night, you'll be spending a few hours at the airport this side when you land... Hope you're en-route now at least!

@xFiacre Glad you made it back OK. It has been a bit dry of late, the sprinkling on your hedge probably could have been dealt with under the hosepipe ban, had you felt so inclined...

High on emotion?

@Courage7 Or some derivation of this, can't remember the original artist(e):

@pgntwo Yes usually Thanks again. I remember this one well.

@pgntwo Thanks!

This version is a lot better:.

Poetry is best enjoyed at ease... something I and most of the English teachers I had at school disagreed over.

@pgntwo True enough...

Gotta have a target... Aim for the stars, get the moon...
