Lending a Hand

The burden does get lighter, when someone lends a hand,
His crew is setting to the task, although it’s undermanned.
It makes a pleasant outing, out of a grinding haul.
And he may even feel the help, as she gives it her all.

The biggest help that he receives, is company for the trip,
He’s graduated from a doryman, to captain of a ship.
He has to entertain her. He is the purser, too.
And he keeps the sharpest lookout for the welfare of the crew.

He likely will not stay the day, out at the chosen site,
But even if he did, the work would still seem rather slight.
Although the catch could be quite small, she knows he is a winner,
And they will have a memory too, no matter what’s for dinner.

PowerPoint Presentation with music.

CARNIVAL IN VENICE

The carnival of Venica was first recorded in 1268. The subversive nature of the festival is reflected in the many laws created over the centuries in Italy attempting to restrict celebrations and often banning the wearing of masks.

Masks have always been a central feature of the Venetian carnival; traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano ( St. Stephen’s day, December 26) at the start of the carnival season and midnight of Shrove Tuesday.
