April Fools
« on: April 01, 2013, 12:39:23 PM »
I know the country is turning upside down.

While reading news stories about politics today, I scratch my head wondering what are real stories and what are simply April Fools jokes.

Pretty sad state of affairs when we actually must ponder this......

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Is it just my imagination, or is the magenta getting brighter?
