Prologue to this Blogue


So then as follows are my duties here,
To often post up interesting things,
And if I can find none of those, ne'er fear,
I shall make up a number of doings,
To lend to your imaginations wings;
And if my scansion doth destroy your brain,
I can but lift my hands, and grasp and wring,
In anguish at the thought of causing pain,
When all I wanted was to please the lofty brain.

"Millionaire" from 50p bet

There once was a better from England,
Whose bets were quite awfully unplanned,
He bet on the long shots,
But one day it paid off,
And the new millionaire was quite unmanned!
