Thread Name: Over the hills and far away.
Subject: RE: Over the hills and far away.
From: Richard Bridge - PM Date: 16 Aug 12 - 04:18 AM IMHO the Tom, Tom stuff is from a wholly different song. .,,. Slowburn response after a full year less exactly a week ~~
'Different song' only in that there happen to exist two distinct Toms, both pipers' sons, in two distinct rhymes: the one who learned to play when he was young, & the only tune... -- which ties in with this thread;
& the other, who stole a pig and away did run. The pig was eat and Tom was beat and Tom went roaring down the street;
which larcenous & justly punished peculator otoh doesn't.
