Please Lord do not give me a fat lady to wed.

[ChristianKnight]

Please Lord do not give me a fat lady to wed.
Round face, big arms, bloated belly, elephant feet,
Instead with heavens blessing, an angel slim and slender, virtues vessel.

A Skull just right,
lean wrist to hold on tight.
Flatter tummies what I like,
much more pleasing to the sight.

Healthiness truly wealthieness
For what are riches
if we lose to many stitches
pulling up our britches.

Though I meet the Lardys along the way
Let us not get entangled on a wedding day,
save that occasion for a finer figure
as in that direction I find my trigger

During dreams that make the heart rate quicker
Thin shaped pictures quiver and flicker.
Recognising beauty is a habit not yet kicked.

But must admit at the other end of the looks scale I seldom get made sick.

Every person has a gift. Call it what you may uniqueness is here to stay.
Without a difference the world would be flat and all coloured black.
So beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
To search each others faults is a guide to helping both grow older.
Seeing a flaw at a distance is not like close up at all.
The sanctity of marriage enables mutual checking to stop a sharp immune system fall.

If you think that looks and appearance have /anything/ to do with
having a lasting and meaningful relationship you are sorely deluded
and are headed for major disappointment.

I tend to assume, possible wrongly, that anyone posting under a
handle like "ChristianKnight" will be a manic fundamentalist
god-botherer saying nothing worth reading.

As ever, I'm quite prepared for you to persuade me of the error of
my ways :)


(By the way, I'm finally getting round to reading Ewan McVicar's
"The Eskimo Republic" wherein you get a mention and quote. Maybe
more than one, I'm only halfway through.)

Two, AIR. Nevertheless, as usual, the man did his homework.

I think I was surprised and disappointed a bit with myself - -
At how little active politics figured into life for us there/then. Best
I foggily recall, a progressive stance was assumed but not particularly
practiced. But we did have fun, didn't we?

It was an interesting time politically. In general most were
"somewhere on the Left". I suppose I had a head start having been
born into a family of rebels and troublemakers. But back then even
most of the Tories were at worst Social Democrats. Sort of way to
the Left of the current Labour Party.

>But we did have fun, didn't we?

I take your word for it - my memories of it all have several large
fun-shaped gaps!

As you might expect, it's known locally, as well.

It's also well-known for the local "Celtic" groups. It seems that one
of them played the song in Dublin once and that makes it an Irish song.

Still, for the past seven years I've been trying to find out just how a
wagon wheel rocks. Nobody seems to know. Perhaps you do?

Well wagons, and indeed wagon wheels are pretty rare around these
parts but I always thought it referred to the motion of a wagon rather
than the wheel itself.

I was more interested in the journey and how it didn't seem to make
sense. For instance, just how did he end up in Roanoke (before
smoking pot) if he was headed for Raleigh?

Even plotting it on a map doesn't make things any clearer.
