“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Yes, Tim, We Americans Trust Trumpy McTrumpface OVER Obama...
Everything is lovely When you start to roam; The birds are singin', the day that you stray, But later, when you are farther away, Things won't seem so lovely When you're all alone; Here's what you'll keep saying When you're far from home:
Mammy, Mammy, The sun shines east, the sun shines west, I know where the sun shines best-- Mammy, My little mammy, My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy. I'm comin', Sorry that I made you wait. I'm comin', Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh Mammy, My little Mammy, I'd walk a million miles For one of your smiles, My Mammy! Oh oh oh... (Spoken) Mammy... My little Mammy. The sun shines east-- the sun shines west-- I know where-- the sun shines best! It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's! (Sung) My little Mammy, My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy. (Spoken) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'-- I'm so sorry that I made you wait! Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'! Oh God, I hope I'm not late! Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me? I'm your little baby! (Sung) I'd walk a million miles For one of your smiles, My Mammy!
For years we had an aspidistra in a flower pot On the whatnot, near the 'atstand in the 'all It didn't seem to grow 'til one day our brother Joe Had a notion that he'd make it strong and tall So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree And he's planted it against the garden wall It shot up like a rocket, 'til it's nearly reached the sky It's the biggest aspidistra in the world We couldn't see the top of it, it got so bloomin' high It's the biggest aspidistra in the world When father's had a snoot full at his pub, 'The Bunch of Grapes' He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes No, you'll find him in his bear-skin playing Tarzan of the apes Off the biggest aspidistra in the world We have to get it watered by the local fire brigade So they put the water rates up half a crown The roots stuff up the drains, grow along the country lanes And they came up half a mile outside the town Once we hired an auditorium for a hot house But a jealous rival went and burnt it down The tom cats and their sweethearts love to spend their evenings out Up the biggest aspidistra in the world They all begin meowing when the buds begin to sprout From the biggest aspidistra in the world The dogs all come around for miles, a lovely sight to see They sniff around for hours and hours and wag their tails with glee So I've had to put a notice up to say it's not a tree It's the biggest aspidistra in the world.

____ MY MAMMY_____
ReplyDeleteEverything is lovely
When you start to roam;
The birds are singin', the day that you stray,
But later, when you are farther away,
Things won't seem so lovely
When you're all alone;
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home:
Mammy,
Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where the sun shines best--
Mammy,
My little mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I'm comin',
Sorry that I made you wait.
I'm comin',
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh
Mammy,
My little Mammy,
I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy! Oh oh oh...
(Spoken) Mammy...
My little Mammy.
The sun shines east-- the sun shines west--
I know where-- the sun shines best!
It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's!
(Sung) My little Mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
(Spoken) Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'--
I'm so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy-- Mammy, I'm comin'!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me?
I'm your little baby!
(Sung) I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy!
I can't tell if FreeThinke is on his meds or off of them.
ReplyDeleteAt least FT isn't vying to get voted into the Honorary Democrat Party before he dies like loco John.
ReplyDeleteTrump ever donate money to McCain?
ReplyDeleteNow Trump wants to give money to North Korea.
B-but McCain badmouthed a sleazebag gun grabbing New York liberal Clinton donor OMG
ReplyDeleteTake heart, beamish. The McCain Institute for International Leadership with it's million dollar + Saudi grants will live on.
ReplyDeletebtw - What's it cost to keep 50,000 grunts on the North Korean border annually?
Globalism live ON!

ReplyDelete_ THE BIGGEST ASPIDISTRA IN THE WORLD _
For years we had an aspidistra in a flower pot
On the whatnot, near the 'atstand in the 'all
It didn't seem to grow 'til one day our brother Joe
Had a notion that he'd make it strong and tall
So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree
And he's planted it against the garden wall
It shot up like a rocket, 'til it's nearly reached the sky
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world
We couldn't see the top of it, it got so bloomin' high
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world
When father's had a snoot full at his pub, 'The Bunch of Grapes'
He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes
No, you'll find him in his bear-skin playing Tarzan of the apes
Off the biggest aspidistra in the world
We have to get it watered by the local fire brigade
So they put the water rates up half a crown
The roots stuff up the drains, grow along the country lanes
And they came up half a mile outside the town
Once we hired an auditorium for a hot house
But a jealous rival went and burnt it down
The tom cats and their sweethearts love to spend their evenings out
Up the biggest aspidistra in the world
They all begin meowing when the buds begin to sprout
From the biggest aspidistra in the world
The dogs all come around for miles, a lovely sight to see
They sniff around for hours and hours and wag their tails with glee
So I've had to put a notice up to say it's not a tree
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world.

ReplyDeleteYou mean 28,000.
South Korea pays 55% of the deployment costs and 90% of the basing costs. If you're looking for military alliance deadbeats, they speak German.

ReplyDeletefelt a Funeral, in my Brain,
ReplyDeleteAnd Mourners to and fro
Kept treading –– treading –– till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum ––
Kept beating –– beating –– till I thought
My mind was going numb––
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space –– began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here ––
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down ––
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing –– then ––
~ Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
