" And why come you to Carter Hall, without command from me?"
" I come and go," young Janet said, "and ask no leave of thee."
And Janet's tied her kirtle green, a bit above her knee
and she's gone to her Father as fast as go can she
Up then spake her Father dear, and he spoke meek and mild
" Oh and Alack, Janet," he said," I fear you go with child."

My favorite thing about Tam Lin is the character Janet and her completely independent nature. She's not afraid to tell anyone what she wants, or to do what she thinks is right. Unusual for a song/story that must date back to the middle ages.

Anybody for Bungie-Bobbing? It's a new take on bobbing for apples. Just sit on this rafter, tie this bungie to your ankles, and aim at the washtub full of Grannie Smiths down there. Geronimo!!!
