Hi folks. I know you’ve noticed that I haven’t posted anything new for a while. I received a cancer diagnosis and it’s going to be a while before I’m back to 100%. Mentally, I’m doing fine, and I have a great team of New York City doctors working on my case. Also, my family and friends have been wonderful. I’m just taking things one day at a time. So that’s the story. To my followers, I love you guys. Take care.

A Poem by Anonymous

    Hub a dub dub,
    Three men in a tub;
And who do you think they be?
    The butcher, the baker,
    The candlestick-maker;
Turn ’em out, knaves all three!

Love And Matrimony

A Poem by Anonymous

Sylvia, sweet as morning air,
Do not drive me to despair:
Long have I sighed in vain,
Now I am come again,
    Will you be mine or no, no-a-no, –
    Will you be mine or no?

Simon pray leave off your suit,
For of your courting you’ll reap no fruit,
I would rather give a crown
Than be married to a clown;
    Go for a booby, go, no-a-no, –
    Go, for a booby, go.

Love And Matrimony

Curly locks! curly locks! wilt thou be mine?
Thou shalt not wash dishes, nor yet feed the swine;
But sit on a cushion and sow a fine seam,
And feed upon strawberries, sugar, and cream!

Love And Matrimony

A Poem by Anonymous

Can you make me a cambric shirt,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Without any seam or needlework?
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

Can you wash it in yonder well,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Where never sprung water, nor rain ever fell?
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

Can you dry it on yonder thorn,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born?
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

Now you have ask’d me questions three,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
I hope you’ll answer as many for me,
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

Can you find me an acre of land,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea sand?
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

Can you plough it with a ram’s horn,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And sow it all over with one pepper-corn?
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

Can you reap it with a sickle of leather,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And bind it up with a peacock’s feather?
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

When you have done and finish’d your work,
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Then come to me for your cambric shirt,
    And you shall be a true lover of mine.

A Poem by Anonymous

“Madam, I am come to court you,
If your favour I can gain.”
“Ah, Ah!” said she, “you are a bold fellow,
If I e’er see your face again!”

“Madam, I have rings and diamonds,
Madam, I have houses and land,
Madam, I have a world of treasure,
All shall be at your command.”

“I care not for rings and diamonds,
I care not for houses and lands,
I care not for a world of treasure,
So that I have but a handsome man.”

“Madam, you think much of beauty,
Beauty hasteneth to decay,
For the fairest of flowers that grow in summer
Will decay and fade away.”

Love And Matrimony

Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean;
And so, betwixt them both, you see,
They lick’d the platter clean.
