2nd (eq) - Dharam Khalsa with:
A man was walking along the beach when he noticed a cave. He walked in and looked around only to discover a magic lamp in the sand.

He rubbed it and a genie came out and offered, "You may have three wishes but, whatever you wish for, all the lawyers of the world will get it double."

The man agreed and said, "I want a million dollars." He got that and the lawyers got two million.
~
So, he deliberated a moment, and howled, "Hah! I want a brand new Ferrari." He was given that new car, and all the global lawyers would get two, to boot. "Woo hoo!" He thanked the magic genie.

Since it was the last wish, he took a long hushed moment to consider it very carefully, and finally, he divulged aloud," Well, I am a peculiar man, but I have always dreamed of donating a kidney."

2nd (eq) - Ellie Dent with:
DOG DICTIONARY

TOILET BOWL: A heavenly, quick dispenser of nice fresh water.

HEARING: A variable skill. Its intensity depends on whether it applies to a fridge door opening half a mile away behind three closed doors, or whether your own name is being shouted in an angry, quite aggressive way, or in a way that threatens Vet (see Vet).

GARBAGE BIN: Source of instant, okay food. Try to spread contents over as wide an area as possible.

DROOLING: When humans are eating, drooling can be a very effective food-producing canine skill. For best results, drool must be gotten onto trousers and/or skirt of the humans. Use also for fun – when driving in a car with humans, place head carefully between the two humans occupying the front seat. Drool gently and in great volume on their arms and shoulders. Rejoice at effects.

RESTING PLACE: Anything, really. White, and a freshly vacuumed surface with good capacity for getting hair stuck to it, is easily the best.

=

SOFA: See resting place. Also serves as napkin after particularly satisfying meals (see Roadkill).

LEASH: A device allowing you to lead your human to a path or place that YOU desire.

BICYCLE: Very good cardio, strengthening, equipment. If you judge the rider to be far too slow, you can increase his speed by running closer to the vehicle and barking. Afterwards, he will up his pace very satisfyingly. Hurrah!

FIREWORKS: A pyrotechnic battleground, havoc: a sure sign that the whole world as we know it is coming to an end and the reign of Vets (see Vet) is beginning. Hide.

SNIFFING: A polite way of showing general interest in the creature you meet. With dogs, rectal area is best. When meeting humans, go and sniff the crotch part.

ROADKILL: A hit, one of the most universal items that you can find. Can be used as food, deodorant and toy.

VET: Satan, that Destroyer of Worlds, Bringer of Woe, both an Unquestioning Robber and an Unwarranted Remover of Testicles.

The Grave of Keats by Oscar Wilde

Rid of the world's injustice, and his pain,
He rests at last beneath God's veil of blue;
Taken from life when life and love were new
The youngest of the martyrs here is lain,
Fair as Sebastian, and as early slain.
No cypress shades his grave, no funeral yew,
But gentle violets weeping with the dew
Weave on his bones an ever-blossoming chain.
O proudest heart that broke for misery!
O sweetest lips since those of Mitylene!
O poet-painter of our English Land!
Thy name was writ in water - it shall stand;
And tears like mine will keep thy memory green,
As Isabella did her Basil-tree.

About the Great Skill of the Late Leviathan

Below this finished jewel is silver dust.
Below this vase - these piles of ashen clay.
Brash pens will harness an inventive lust
By arrogantly spewing ink away.
There really is one toll for making sure
An error in your stuff will not be traced,
Or being adamant that Whole stayed pure:
A finer fashion makes a lot of waste.
Yet one bard's system of devising gems
Will keep those prior pieces, one by one;
If we transpose each shred we find in them,
We're awed to see, when it's all said and done,
There is no letter he ignored or missed
In each verse by the anagrammatist.

NOVEMBER 6
by David Lehman

Remember when Khrushchev said
"We will bury you!"
on the cover
of Time
I thought he was
employing a metaphor
as in "Braves Scalp Giants!"
on the back page
of the Daily News
I pictured the Russians
burying us under a mound
of all the rubble
that rubles could buy
when what he meant was
he had come not to praise Caesar
but to bury him

NOVEMBER 6

Your White House was the daily inferno;
Blabber erupts like a rush hour volcano!

Your high hand hogwash is so destructive,
Debased watchmen drawn by hate so repulsive.

A sycophancy faithfully making them numb,
Midterm elections propagating the dumb.

In the Senate the Republicans do outnumber,
But a Blue Wave may wash the Lower Chamber.

Dharam Khalsa with:
1 Corinthians 13 (New International Version)

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13 (Christmas Epiphany) - Unknown

If I festoon the house and patio perfectly with twinkling lights, fancy paper snowflakes and shimmering bows, and do not show love to my own family, I am just another decorator.

If I slave away in the kitchen to prepare a beautiful dinner, to bake a few apple pies, to arrange a radiant table, and do not show love to my family, I'm an unappreciated cook.

If I work at a soup kitchen, carol to the frail in a home and give all I have to charity, and do not show love to the family, I achieve nothing.

If I trim a pine tree with angels, showy ornaments and ripe cranberries, attend myriads of holiday parties and sing in a choir, but don't focus on the "Reason for the Season",
woe is me; I have missed the point.

Love stops cooking to hug the wee child.

Love sets aside tree decorating to kiss a husband/wife.

Love is kind, but often tense and harried.

Love won’t eye a shipshape home which has a showier settee and coordinated linens.

Love never yells at the pesky kids to get out of the way; it is happy when wee ones are there to be in the way.

Love doesn’t give only to those who will give in return; it delights to see everyone who can’t.

Love bears all things, believes in all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never wanes.

Teens' video games will break, pearls will be lost, golf clubs will rust, while the gift of love will endure.

ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN
A song by
Jimmie Rodgers

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and phlox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentian, lupins and tall hollyhocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots
In an English country garden
(In an English country garden)

How many insects come here and go
Through our English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon
Fireflies, moths and bees
Spiders climbing in the trees
Butterflies that sway on the cool gentle breeze
There are snakes, ants that sting
And creeping things
In an English country garden
(In an English country garden)

How many songbirds fly to and fro
Through our English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon
Bobolink, cuckoo and quail
Tanager and cardinal
Bluebird, lark, thrush and nightingale
There is joy in the spring
When the birds begin to sing
In an English country garden
(In an English country garden)

Robin (Robin, robin)
Don't forget the robin (Don't forget the robin)
Robin (Robin, robin)
Don't forget the robin

ENGLISH PIKEY CAMPSITES
(Self-penned soliloquy on an unruly and dodgy band).

Let's do a count of things you will see
On an English pikey campsite.
Litter and rubbish and horses with fleas
And snarling Rottweilers all bred to fight.
A mattress on a fire,
Acrid smoke from burning tyres,
Clogging the air as the flames rise higher.
Bony kids with runny noses running round
In an English scoundrels' training ground.
(In an English scoundrels' training ground).

How many persons do an honest job,
On an English pikey campsite?
None - they're all cloned to con and to rob,
Then they'll often only work at night.
They all own big, modern cars,
Mercedes and Jaguars,
Four-by-fours all with towbars,
Do they get them for free?
Lordy, it's a mystery,
All I know is, they annoy me
(All I know, is they annoy me).

None of this dodgy crowd pays their tax,
In their English, rent-free haven,
Why're the laws for them so lax?
Grrr, it's nigglin' and enragin'
Each site's like a human zoo,
Conmen, crooks, rogue builders too,
Using the woodlands to go to the loo,
Such an unruly crowd,
No, it shouldn't be allowed,
On an English scoundrels' training ground.
(On an English scoundrels' training ground).

Robbing
