A question was raised recently about self-promotion. Surely this thread is the worst example of arrogant, self-indulgent, completely up-its-own-arse spamming on this board.

Just thought I'd say.

(I hate imperialism - whether it's Nazi, Victorian, or any other.)
A spouse with me I'd not resist -
In retirement, we'd just subsit.

(Bye the way, it was mentioned above that my site is still not compatible with all computers - I think that has been fixed be left-aligning the "book"/table, which was previously centre-aligned and out-of-whak on some screens.)

And, in thin beds, vegetables laid...

The Guest, unkind,
With comments terse,
Should keep in mind
It could be verse!

If words were stone,
A cop, a nurse!
For batter or
(Perhaps) for verse.

Though following this thread
Has not always been fun
And it's easy to mock
All the writing he's done,
Whether Madman or Joker
Whether winter or fall,
Even rhymes mediocre
Beat no verse at all.

No hard feelings, this thread just should not have poisoned the fine music section. It was BS material, at best.

230   AS GOSPELLERS HAVE SAID/CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

As gospellers have said,
Beneath signalling skies,
On land dusty to tread,
A trough in a stable
Was the strawy first-bed
Of a divine baby -
The forgiving Godhead.

A season for new hope -
There then and here now;
The yuletide of goodwill -
There then and here now...
