Short and Sweet

I thought I'd risk hate mail from radical Christians and post this jaunty verse by my favourite poet.

Give Me Women, Wine and Snuff
Give me women, wine and snuff
Until I cry out "Hold, enough!"
You may do so sans objection
Til the day of resurrection:
For, bless my beard, they aye shall be
My beloved Trinity.

John Keats

Oh, a-ha! Now I get it! ;) Yes, that paisley still has me in amazement.

I'm sure certain Christians wld get their knickers in a twist over Keats calling "wine, women and snuff" his "Beloved Trinity". Maybe the same ones who say paisley print and Ikebana are satanic ;-) !

I was about to ask the same question eyeris was asking! See, never did well in poetry in my lit classes. ;)

Thanks for the Garth Nix review in June...I got the first two books and I love 'em to bits.
