Each of These Updated First Lines?
1. Away from all danger our youth must be led
Kept free from all challenges, always well fed …

They shan’t celebrate a thing …

Nor foolish assertions bold …
4. Things must go well when we’re told what to say
It is certain your leaders must always hold sway …

Very good, but the only one I thought might puzzle a musical person was #9. HINT: It's sung to the tune hymnologists call "Regent Square."
DeleteCome back, and see if 4 and 5 o't com clear to you after a bit more thought.
They SHOULD.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
<];^}> HO Ho Ho!
5. Silent Night
Delete4. The First Noel
Delete9.
DeleteBRAVO! Only ONE wrong this time, but your substitute for Regent Square was thoroughly delightful, so THANK yOU. Th Mormons may be an odd "cult," but they sure can SING –– a sure sign they're on the right track, and their critics are not.
DeleteThe tune you thought fit #9 might benefit from this P-C- Update:
Enjoy time, Don't get too high.
Screaming headaches are a pain ...
Go to the head of the class, and wait to be crowned with a laurel wreath.
No well. No well means that Thirst's here to stay.
There'll be nothing to eat, and no reason to play ...
<];^{> No No No!
9. Angels We Have Heard On High
DeleteNO, sir. Close but no cigar.
Delete#9 is a takeoff on
Angels from the realms of glory
___ wing your flight o'er all the earth.
Ye who've heard Salvatiin'story
___ now proclaim Messiah's Birth.
Come and worship. Come and worship.
___ Worship vchrst th Newborn King.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Ducky!.

ReplyDeleteI had this one out with the Muscovy Marsh Fowl at your place yesterday.
DeleteIt's a lot .ike Parson Weems all over again, isn't it, only far more destructive of Truth.
This is nothing new. Remember Bowdler? I believe HE even attempted to "sanitize" the HOLY BIBLE!
After listener demand the song was reinstated.
DeleteThat's the way that the world goes 'round.
You're up one day and the next you're down.

The long awaited Time magazine choice for “Person of they year” just ended with Time announcing that they have chosen Jamal Khashoggi, and “The Journalists” as Person of the Year!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, let me admit that I really didn’t evn realize that Time magazine even existed anymore , but now that we all know it does, let me say that in MY humble that was another PC Stupid choice!
With so many other more people that have made more of an “Influence” in the World, or in the Country, why chose Khashoggi? OK, he had a awful death, and under very strange and unusual cermonstances, but to say that he was “Influential” I don’t and cant agree.
In my opinion there are many others that I would have picked instead, such as President Trump, Vladimir Putin, Robert Mueller, Christine Blasey Ford, even the Idiot James Comey, or the “Illegal Aliens”.
Actually we should be grateful that in today’s Upside-down World the choice could have been much worse. It could have been Jim Acosta, or Corry Booker, or even that raving idiot Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wh this morning announced that she is: Jewish!
Yes you read that correctly!
She announced that at a Jackson Heights Synagogue in Queens, New York celebrating Hanukkah, telling the crowd that “A very, very long time ago, generations and generations ago, my family consisted of Sephardic Jews.”
She dated her ancestry to those who had to flee Europe during the Spanish Inquisition more than 500 years ago,. So she’s’ Jewish! And now I guess that I can’t call her Stupid anymore!
And by the way, Ben Shapiro tweeted that “Anyone who falls for this sort of pandering is a Massive Sucker.”
I would call massive SELF-DECEPTION the Credo of the Left.
DeleteFacebook comment by a friend of mine and worth reading (emphasis mine):
ReplyDeleteI was told yesterday, while singing along to it at the grocery, that “Deck the Halls” is homophobic because of the phrase “...Don we now our gay apparel...”. After I stopped laughing, I looked at the fully pierced and tattooed, female-appearing, young person in front of me and asked if she had any understanding of the evolution of language. Blank stare. I elaborated “prior to the mid 80s the only definition the word ‘gay’ had was ‘happy’.” She seemed shocked. Said she’s never heard “gay” applied to anything but “LGBTQ members”.
Many of these idiots, at least the younger ones, have zero historical knowledge. It means that they cannot comprehend that things that took place in a period of time prior to #MeToo don’t apply to today.
We have done a horrible job of educating our young people. Many of them act like toddlers with no concept of time passage or actions with consequences. The idea that seduction is rape is ridiculous. The notion that a girl leaning in with her lips puckered isn’t consent for a kiss is sheer madness. None of them, or at least very few of them, have been raised to become independent minded, logical, productive members of society.
Somewhere along the line the lesson “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me“ was tossed aside in favor of coddling and ass-wiping. If we don’t get back to raising children to become adults in this generation, we are doomed.
I'd rather say THEY are doomed, nd s, of curse, is the USA. I give thanks, however, that WE are not doomed. Wth God's grace WE may yet be SAVED.
DeleteThe wrld hasnever been an easy place at ANY time, an GOOD people along with very SMART people often get PERSECUTED.
What particular meaning should we attribute to the inverted cross with the broken arms?
ReplyDeleteWas it invented by Aleister Crowley?
I'm surprisd you didn't recognize The Universl PEACE Sign. I don' know its origin, but i became prominent during the SICK-sties. Very popular with the Anti-War movement.
DeleteTYR THIS JUST FOR FUN:
ReplyDeleteHokum! Hokum, my eManual!
You’re handsome, but you've cast an evil spell
I’m stuck in lonely exile here
Until my costly techspert doth appear.
You give no choice, eManual!
Without the geek I’m stuck in cyber hell.
I find it depressing that the media indicates that 0.00000000000001% of the population controls the narrative.
ReplyDeleteThey don't. And when they really cross the line - they're going to find out just how insignificant they are.
Very clever! We need the mirth right now.
ReplyDeleteWE DO, INDEED, SILVER!
DeleteDreaming up poetry and making satire is how I try to keep from losing whatever may be left of my my alleged-mind. ;-)
Everybody has a laughing place
A laughung plan to go Ho Ho!
Take that frown
Turn it upside down,
And you'll find yours I know Ho Ho!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
