Almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.

Green is the prime colour of the world and that from which its loveliness arises.

Calico Pie

CherryPie — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:41:35 +0000

By Edward Lear

For the second annual Blogger’s silly week.

I
Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang ‘Tilly-loo!’
Till away they flew,–
And they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!

II

Calico Jam,
The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
He took off his hat,
To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-Wat,–
But he never came back to me!
He never came back!
He never came back!
He never came back to me

III

Calico Ban,
The little Mice ran,
To be ready in time for tea,
Flippity flup,
They drank it all up,
And danced in the cup,–
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!

IV

Calico Drum,
The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground,
Around and around,
With a hop and a bound,–
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!

Burton Agnes Hall – The King’s State Bedroom

CherryPie — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:38:13 +0000

It is commonly thought that the King’s State Bedroom commemorates the occasion James I stayed in Burton Agnes Hall on the way to be crowned in Westminster Abbey. This however is highly unlikely because the Hall was not completed until 1603. The bed is Italian and dates from the seventeenth century and is still hung with some of the original blue damask.
