It was early last September nigh to Framlin'am-on Sea, An' 'twas Fair-day come to-merrow, an' the time was after tea, An' I met a painted caravan adown a dusty lane, A Pharaoh with his waggons comin' jolt an' creak an' strain; A cheery cove an' sunburnt, bold o' eye and wrinkled up, An' beside him on the splashboard sat a brindled terrier pup, An' a lurcher wise as Solomon an' lean as fiddle-strings Was joggin' in the dust along 'is roundabouts and swings. "Goo'-day," said 'e; "Goo'-day," said I; "an' 'ow d'you find things go, An' what's the chance o' millions when you runs a travellin' show?" "I find," said 'e, "things very much as 'ow I've always found, For mostly they goes up and down or else goes round and round." Said 'e, "The job's the very spit o' what it always were, It's bread and bacon mostly when the dog don't catch a 'are; But lookin' at it broad, an' while it ain't no merchant king's, What's lost upon the roundabouts we pulls up on the swings!" "Goo'luck," said 'e; "Goo'luck," said I; "you've put it past a doubt; An' keep that lurcher on the road, the gamekeepers is out." 'E thumped upon the footboard an' 'e lumbered on again To meet a gold-dust sunset down the owl-light in the lane; An' the moon she climbed the 'azels, while a nightjar seemed to spin That Pharaoh's wisdom o'er again, 'is sooth of lose-and-win; For "up an' down an' round," said 'e, "goes all appointed things, An' losses on the roundabouts means profits on the swings!"
Oh lovely Silki - what is your son like as a person then - I did a quick horoscope chart for Josh this morning but didnt have time to do one for baby - nice planetary positions though
I know Gra - was a bit niffed that she didnt hold on for your birthday today but as you say you are both Virgoans and thats great by me - my opposite sign so we get on just great
the little man is going to be a guitar player - his fingers are really long - I bought his brother a guitar today but I think it will be used more by the baby
This is Josh, his Daddie Nick and Mummy Camille (Carly) - his little brother Tomas went to bed as he had a pretty exciting day, getting a new brother is a bit of a biggie when you are only 18 months old
haha I just cant decide which piccie i like best - the boy in the red t shirt is Sean who is 15 and he made me a Granny at the grand old age of 38 - I love him to bits too
