By the way, jomac, I too am impressed by your (what must be a) teeming brain. I had the anagram but certainly didn't get the Belloc reference. Oh-and ixion, how are you coping with the Scottish gloom? I hope it isn't cold enough to turn you into a riggald- or worse.

All present and correct thanks Aristo - the gloom has lifted - able to play golf yesterday(didn't lose a ball their either)though the tees need to be screwed in!

I'll bet the ball was dimpled though.

My brain doesn't really teem, Aristophanes. But for some reason this verse took my fancy and I committed it to memory years ago. First time I've had a chance to recite it.

If you committed a Belloc poem to memory (or ANY poem, for that matter) you must be over fifty. I can still be impressed. Could you translate it into Aramaic? There was a time when every American child had to recite "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." THAT isn't the case any longer- soooo dead-white-guy...
