Still Time
dusk arising said:

OK I\'m game, lets build a still. I\'m not doing anything for a few days so lets contemplate.... what sort of liquor shall we create?
Of course the quality of water is really important as has been proven by the scotch distillers so i think these hot weather days are a good time to be wading into some of our freshwater streams for sampling. Or should we be creating a heavenly liquor created from the hailstones which we are promised will be arriving shortly.
Don\'t wince like that, i said hailstones not gallstones!

Enjoyed your everso encouraging write today.

dusk arising said:

aha dear young Tabitha Tootle whack, the stalwart from Bootle.
No fear of yer heartstrings being twanged on departings.
Just a sigh of \'ooh neck\' as she throttles ya neck.

Love to read a bit of well composed fun.

dusk arising said:

Well i\'ll be a drowning weevil in a ships biscuit if i didn\'t enjoy this piece sir Neville. And all for the price of a tuppenny dreadful too.

Enchanting.

Mines a red wine or a ton and ginic - what a great piece of penmanship.

What year will that be - or approximately? When tuppence was about 50 quid\'s worth today?
I would be a pirate, but I got this parrot on me shoulder, name of Polly; a relative of Fido\'s, never lets me have much \'excitement\'! lol.

Neville,

Loved reading this finely penned poem. That Captain and lad certainly deserve all the ā€˜ale and salt brisketā€˜ that ā€˜tuppence can buyā€™...and perhaps more!

A scary adventure at sea which demands another installment methinks - - - - your ability with stories is shown to perfection here with a smatter of archaic language to boot - -\'ere\'s wishin\' a safe landing and tavern\'s hot viands for that Cap\'n an\' lad thanks to \'ee me \'Earty

Should I meet her, now she\'s grown up?! lol. Will she scweam and scweam, or is that someone else?

A veritable hero that little Tabitha - should imagine this poem brought great grins to your listening daughter back then Nev. - it certainly did it for me.

Nob Hill Hotel Ca
Suresh said:

I too have enjoyed the Fairmont several times, and the regality and pageantry is once represented.
Thanks for the memories.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your words, but I also wanted to understand the depth behind them. I looked up the meaning behind all the Japanese words and symbolisims, and that only made the poem that much more interesting.

See how all that smoking has aged me...
I forget what came before that....
AHHHH!!!! YES, lighting of the match.

This kind of behavior will kill you! You also know it\'s habit forming or addictive. There will be life-altering consequences, not to mention the cost. So if you have to chose which to lose, just keep on smoking.
A great big chuckle from me. - Phil A.

If I read more into this, it will bring on a hefty swoon. Fido will chuck buckets of cold water on me! lol.
Did ya know Mary (Hopkin)? Not personally of course - you know her songs?! \'Twas about the time I stopped watching \'Top of the Pops\' I reckon.

A wonderful description of striking a match on a well worn matchbox\'s sandpaper strip.

It takes such insight to see the poetry such a mundane task, now another fragment of the past. Similar to my sex life really.

Wonderful words Neville, when I hit sixty I did start over again in a newer life where my work was arranged so that I only worked two days per week, so yes sixty is a special age, (64 was better when I retired completely!)
May you brother live his new life to the full.

Amid happy feasting and celebration your write provided yet one further learning curve for this humble reader -- Japanese custom when reaching 60 means lots of ritual before yummy rice cake so I believe - - words learnt add to the intrigue penned into the rest of the interesting verse - - DOMO ARIGATOU to you mi amigo...... x
