Sweet Content

ART thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers?
O sweet content!
Art thou rich, yet is thy mind perplex'd?
O punishment!
Dost thou laugh to see how fools are vex'd
To add to golden numbers golden numbers?
O sweet content! O sweet, O sweet content!
Work apace, apace, apace, apace;
Honest labour bears a lovely face;
Then hey nonny nonny—hey nonny nonny!

From 'Sweet Content' , by the Elizabethan poet Thomas Dekker.

Relationships with NASA strained this morning as argument raged over the usability of cardboard, tape and string in space.
MGU is relying on the testimony of a three year old boy from Germany, who made the shuttle the other day in his bedroom.
Initial claims that he had also discovered alien life were dismissed when this turned out to be his little sister.

A Slave Caravan



"Nor was there a sound, nor a voice, or a cry, or the faintest murmur in The Desert, save the heavy dull tramp of our caravan: all else was the silence of death!"

Ladies Out For Winter


Eating apples and Sunday get-aways were part of our summer routine. The winter came. We were ruthlessly interrupted, forced into hibernation. But the grizzly bears are stirring once more!
