Pssst, I hate to do this but I think there is need for an usher in here. The riff-raff who bloody well killed the chap have made their way into this solemn occasion and are displaying the weapons that caused the downfall in the first place. You surely cannot allow this armchair rabble, this post-modern sludge a place at this occasion?

But again, they will kick their way in if not invited. That is just their kind. No attention to the modesty required those of low birth. Those of low birth have kicked in the door and kicked in our heads. They are jumping with boots on every face remotely human. They are not smart, of course, or cultured, but they do know how to take directions and they do know how to do as their told.

They know how to line up properly.

Perhaps a self-help book--no make that brochure--is what is needed. You know: "Ten Easy Steps to This, That and Everything".

Naming of Parts

"Vixi duellis nuper idoneus
Et militavi non sine glori"

Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleaning. And tomorrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But today,
Today we have naming of parts. Japonica
Glistens like coral in all of the neighboring gardens,
And today we have naming of parts.

This is the lower sling swivel. And this
Is the upper sling swivel, whose use you will see
When you are given your slings. And this is the piling swivel,
Which in your case you have not got. The branches
Hold in the gardens their silent, eloquent gestures,
Which in our case we have not got.

This is the safety-catch, which is always released
With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me
See anyone using his finger. You can do it quite easily
If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms
Are fragile and motionless, never letting anyone see
Any of them using their finger.

And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.

They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

Aha.... Zviadist's true colors ooze out again... kind of a puke/snot green don't you think?

[Terriergal]

They are not smart, of course, or cultured,

Makes me wonder if you've *ever* read the Bible, or taken it seriously. Hmmm.....

Those of low birth have kicked in the door and kicked in our heads.

Pardon me for deigning to wreck the delightful theocratic oligarchy with rigidly defined classes that you wanted to create.

In the meantime, though, I'd be most pleased if you would just shut up, and keep your unearned snobbery to yourself.
