 Euphemisms - Ted

Iused to read the deaths in the Manchester Evening News, often seeing a name I knew. I read one that said " May the Holy light from Blessed Jesus s***e upon his soul "

I bet they got their money back.

I've asked for a humanist do when I pass the finishing post, my mother had one. I've asked for Flanders & Swann's "The Slow Train" as it mentions my station from where we caught the hiker's specials in the 60s, with any one of Rickard Strauss " Four Last Songs " to go out with.

My Uncle Walter, the last of the previous generation went in to " Walter, lead me to the altar " and " Sing As We Go " through the curtains . Both Gracie Fields.

I've always liked this from Tennyson.....

There sits the shadow feared by man
who broke our fair companionship
abd spread his mantle dark and cold
and wrapt thee formless in the fold
and dulled the murmur on thy lip,
and bore thee where I could not see,
nor follow, though I walk in haste
and know that somewhere in the waste,
the shadow sits and waits for me.

Can't beat a bit of morbid to cheer you up !

Ted
