Where have all the flowers gone? By Pete Seeger
Where
have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them everyone
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where
have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to young men every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where
have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where
have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards everyone
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where
have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

A HOUND, A TUP AND A PEEWIT
There is a story that many years after the death of the
great Ludwig Van Beethoven, a group of music students from the university
visited his former residence. At that time many of his possessions had been
preserved. The students were allowed to view the varied objects on display and
even sit at his piano. One student, a rather bold young man asked to play a few
notes and the curator allowed him to do so.
Another student asked if any famous people had visited the
residence and the curator informed them that the young Johannes Brahms had
visited only the month before. The student sitting at the piano asked,
"What Beethoven piece did the great Brahms play?"
"He did not play," was the answer. "Brahms
declined our invitation, saying he was unfit to touch the same keys as the
master Beethoven."
Not all will understand my words but some will know the
jackal that guards the cave. Some will know that a ram is hidden within a crown
of thorns but perhaps many more will follow the lapwing.

GOD BLESS YE MERRY GENTLEMEN © 2017
God bless ye merry gentlemen,
Christmas, not far away.
Yet the world is not what we know,
The world is lacking much today.
Where is the joy and happiness?
Where is the helping hand?
Have we forgotten our Humanity?
Have we forgotten all we planned?
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
But let the homeless starve.
Pray for those that are unholy,
While the turkey you do carve.
