YOUNG JUDGE ~ BIG WIG ~ MORE AUTHORITY ?
BIGWIGS are people of importance
Not coverings for those who've lost their hair
A colloquial term for "Persons of Authority"
JUDGES & BARRISTERS who this affection share !
The Law is an Ass ~ and their judgement won't budge
The BIGGER the WIG ~ The BETTER the JUDGE !
HALCYON DAYS is Sicilian Folk Law
In GREEK the word means A Kingfisher
She lays her eggs upon the sea ~ The prayed
For calm ~ so the waves don't dish 'er !
So HALCYON DAYS will cause no alarm
They are days of Peace ~ Tranquility ~ Calm !
A HAT TRICK is a performance of THREE
Deriving from the Noble Art of CRICKET
If you bowled three Men ~ in consecutive balls
You have performed a HAT TRICKET !
And much more than that ~ Back in the .......
Pavillion you're given A HAT !
PARAPHERNALIA ~ refers to the GOODS
A Man would bestow on his New Wedded Wife
It was things apart from the DOWRY
Things she'd inherit for LIFE
From the GREEK ~ PARA (besides) FERNE (dowry) ~ so
The WIFE has much more on show !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN
