HAROLD’S LAMENT
( Subtitled: 'The History Books Got It Wrong')
In 1066 with all good grace
I bent down low to tie my lace
But that was where it went awry
A target made of my third eye
And sure enough it came to pass
An arrow bulls-eyed up my arse.

CoR! what a shot, right in the chuffer!
Dont think of it as yer downfall
ya could have copped it in the eyeball
he missed by miles
and gave u piles
and a poem thats simply ribald
Oh lol. A fun write M.
Orchi - you could have made a little bit more of an effort here, don't you think? It's 1066, man - are you going to tell us you weren't a witness? So Andy is our last resort for verification here - not, I might add, that I doubt Michael's account for one minute......
Michael: at least we now know the truth....
Yes he got it in the eye but not the one recorded in history books written years after the event.
Ain't that true of many events recorded in books........?
A resolute, unfaltering analysis of an important historical event, Michael.
Fido won't let me say too much more on this. Woof! He said it might degenerate into a third-eye discussion! Of course, Fido thinks it's something like a sixth sense, not...........! lol. Now c'mon, Orchi, being naive!
If that dawg so limits your freedom of expression, I can only see two options for you, orchi - either you take him for a one way trip to the vet, or you give him your password here and let him contribute to this vibrant MPS community while you retire gracefully....
Orchi - I've been waiting for Andy to join you , give you support in order to resolve this issue; however he seems to be missing in action. so I feel that we will have to resolve this together.
Yesterday i gave you all your available options - to wit, two. The first, wrong - I protest on behalf of all dogs - no one way trips to the vet.
The second then, is the way to go: let Fido take over your position here - this will allow you to pursue your other great interest. And why not? A life of song. You have a great voice. Don't let all the naysayers pull you down - they are either jealous or see you, what is known where I live, as a tall poppy which needs to be cut down to size. Pay them no heed; go for it, man. The world is your oyster.
I'm deeply sorry for not mentioning this before - I just did not want to cause any trouble.................
Fido won't let me say more - that's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it! lol. He would bite me before he got to the vets, if I ever took that option. I never would though.
orchi - you don't have to SAY anything, Just sing it. (I dismissed the vet) You could have a glittering career ahead of you if only you would release your inner Pavarotti......
a fun read Michael
not sure how we go about verifying
one historical 'fact'
as being more 'factual' than another
generally I assume, all information
has its accuracy decrease
with each forgotten second
Obviously, it was not a good idea to bend down to tie the lace.
