New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Yech.
On the other hand...is it to the tune of anything I'd know?
Probably not... I think it's a Wierd Al original composition.
g'mornin...
goin' to a friends house (he's a doctor I know from church choir, great guy) to take his tractor on a high performance trial... not lookin' at gettin' another tractor anytime soon, but wanted to try a newer tractor and see how well I could operate the new-fangled controls...
another fella from our church staff is comin' out this afternoon to cut some wood... won't be any help to him, cuz muh wrist still ain't no better... might have somethin' tuh do with the clearin' I'muhdoin'...
What kind of wood?
dead...
It's called Driftwood.
JenB: Who is Natalie Wood?
Heh!! I figured...but what's he gonna do with it? Use it in a smoker? Build a tree fort? Or just haul it off?
We have this hugh dead bradford pear you know, that Steve and I shopped down here while back? It's piled up in our back yard. Just about every day Steve is home, he starts a fire in the Brinkman smoker...he's burning up that tree little by little.
Ewww! LOL!
I love the beginning of Star Trek:Insurrection where Jean Luc and Warf are chasing after Data, and Jean Luc starts singing "A British Tar" to get Data to sing along in order to distract him.
he needs it fer his wood stove...
mostly oaks and hickory around here...
Ahh...
I'd love a wood stove. I'd use one in my kitchen even. In the winter, at least.
LOL!! I've never heard the entire "Modern Major General". I wonder how long it takes for someone to master that particular song? Talk about a tongue twister!!
Doh! I'd forgotten "The Mikado" was Gilbert and Sullivan.
We saw a production of that at the Kennedy Center years ago.
Our #1 son rents a house with two other guys in the Law school at Cornell. They were going to get Netflix for the house, so the three of them could split the cost.
I always thought that was from The Mikado.
Don't be furtive! Be LOUD and PROUD!
That's interesting; did they have any stories about him? I loved the movie Chariots of Fire, and it's the first time I remember actually rooting for a picture to win an Oscar.
It's both. He does the "He is an Englishman" song at school.
The woman he meets (and marries) is in "The Mikado."
Trivia time: Name the actress in "Chariots of Fire" and name the other role we'd know her in.
Hint: There have been "connecting" references today...
They wrote a book about their time in prison and mentioned him. He died in prison there. They spoke well of him.
