 Beware The Hun In The Sun by Jox (Writing as TC - # 145 AB) October, 2003 “Reach for the skies!” He was told at school. Don’t stay on the ground with the rest. Be the genius; not anyone’s fool, Always make sure you’re the very best! "Head for the stars!” They said in College. You must grasp living with both hands; Here we give you the vital knowledge To ensure that you soar above lands. “Be aggressive,” Your instructor said. You have to be amongst leaders; Leave nothing to chance; to this be wed: Trust your judgement, but also heed us. “Up into the skies - you’re now solo.” Young, brave - determined to succeed. Breathtakingly high; dangerously low; Just to placate adrenalin greed. “This isn’t happening, not to me.” Your mind a whurr, your plane spinning, The cannon ripped through, you hit the sea, A star goes out, the heavens dimming. ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to." ~ J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Sorry,I missed this sparkling award at the time.
I am very honoured. Thank you very much. I shall use the riches - which exceed my wildest dreams - to buy Microsoft Inc. and fix the bugs in "Windows". On second thoughts, I'll just buy a couple of pubs. You'll all be welcome - please just show the special, secret MM sign (Tom has the details) and you can have a free pint. As The Prisoner (No6) said... Be Seeing you. James. |
