A Code of Morals
Rudyard Kipling

Lest you should think this story true
I merely mention I
Evolved it lately. 'Tis a most
Unmitigated misstatement.

Now Jones had left his new-wed bride to keep his house in order,
And hied away to the Hurrum Hills above the Afghan border,
To sit on a rock with a heliograph; but ere he left he taught
His wife the working of the Code that sets the miles at naught.

And Love had made him very sage, as Nature made her fair;
So Cupid and Apollo linked , per heliograph, the pair.
At dawn, across the Hurrum Hills, he flashed her counsel wise--
At e'en, the dying sunset bore her husband's homilies.

He warned her 'gainst seductive youths in scarlet clad and gold,
As much as 'gainst the blandishments paternal of the old;
But kept his gravest warnings for (hereby the ditty hangs)
That snowy-haired Lothario, Lieutenant-General Bangs.

'Twas General Bangs, with Aide and Staff, who tittupped on the way,
When they beheld a heliograph tempestuously at play.
They thought of Border risings, and of stations sacked and burnt--
So stopped to take the message down--and this is what they learnt--

"Dash dot dot, dot, dot dash, dot dash dot" twice. The General swore.

"Was ever General Officer addressed as 'dear' before?
"'My Love,' i' faith! 'My Duck,' Gadzooks! 'My darling popsy-wop!'
"Spirit of great Lord Wolseley, who is on that mountaintop?"

The artless Aide-de-camp was mute; the gilded Staff were still,
As, dumb with pent-up mirth, they booked that message from the hill;
For clear as summer lightning-flare, the husband's warning ran:--
"Don't dance or ride with General Bangs--a most immoral man."

[At dawn, across the Hurrum Hills, he flashed her counsel wise--
But, howsoever Love be blind, the world at large hath eyes.]
With damnatory dot and dash he heliographed his wife
Some interesting details of the General's private life.

The artless Aide-de-camp was mute, the shining Staff were still,
And red and ever redder grew the General's shaven gill.

And this is what he said at last (his feelings matter not):--
"I think we've tapped a private line. Hi! Threes about there! Trot!"

All honour unto Bangs, for ne'er did Jones thereafter know
By word or act official who read off that helio.

But the tale is on the Frontier, and from Michni to Mooltan
They know the worthy General as "that most immoral man."

Figure Skating. I want to be able to jump, but not like this

[Clodfobble]

Was not expecting that.

[monster]

I would never even begin to jump like that, though, because I go the other way

[squirell nutkin]

Pretty funny.

[squirell nutkin]

I am inexplicably melancholy today

Mum & Dad have been house-sitting and are back tomorrow about midday. And for once I'm not frantic spring-cleaning. All I need to do is hoover the living room, kitchen & hall. I should mop the kitchen floor really. But they'll only trample all over it when they're unpacking... Yay me. I've been very well behaved this time.

But I have to get up mega early (for me) tomorrow because I am covering for Mum who is supposed to also be house-sitting at my bro's parents-in-laws' house tomorrow. She won't be back in time, so I'm going over to take the dog out and feed the cat. It's about a 40 minute walk away, and I can't face that first thing. So I'm getting a taxi. Only I won't have the money to do so without going to the cashpoint down the road. And the money doesn't clear until tomorrow morning. Argh.

Once Mum relieves me I'll probably just sit around wondering what to do with myself, because I've been kept busy for the last few days (looking after Grandad and watching all the DVDs I don't get a chance to watch when they're home).

I'm knucking fackered

[toranokaze]

I hear about 100 children just say wow in unison, science is great.

I honestly have been sitting around wondering what to do with myself for the last few days.

Well, that and sorting things out for Mum and bill-paying and going shopping. But there has been a bit of thumb twiddling going on. Being sober and on a diet really seems to impact how much spare time I have. Tomorrow I will follow up on volunteering - the QPC haven't called me back.

Did you ever get the free version of WinRar installed on your machine? 'cause there's a bunch of audios on my BF account you could listen to :P

Oh, and my audible account doesn't require any unzipping of files: there are several books on there you are welcome to access. And a short (12 mins) interview with the Barrowman.
