Son of Broken Token
As I roved out one fine May morning,
I'm always ready in the morning,
She said, "Oh no, I loved a sailor
I felt around within my pocket,
That morn I proved my honour long, boys.

It isn't often we have three new songs of such peerless quality coming from one thread. I noticed you avoided amulets. I have been thinking about this (instead of working). I suppose one of the problems with amulets is that nothing rhymes with amulet - omelette? Also, of course the problem with having the other half of the same ring is that you are likely to be brother and sister! So maybe it is best to go for someone with half of a different ring/amulet. Cuts down on the odds of your child ending up as a banker. I remember Woody Allen once wrote an update of mythical animals, and the best was a creature whose top half was a lion, and whose bottom half was a lion -- but a different lion!! Makes you think. Do you have a tune? Yours, Peter T. |

Though they never fitted together seal or token Or matched up each other’s amulet, Was their love not true, and just as truly unbroken? -- Romeo Montagu, and Juliet Capulet. Just thought I'd give it a whirl -- boy, dactyls sure don't work too well in English. Yours, Peter T.
