Rudyard Kipling Giving your heart for a Dog to Tear ON THE DEATH OF A DOG

Image
  T here is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; And when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we a lways arrange for more? Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie— Perfect passion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk your heart for a dog to tear. When the fourteen years which Nature permits Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs To lethal chambers or loaded guns, Then you will find—it’s your own affair— But … you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will, With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).

GOOD DAY

Image
  Since I am no longer a British Citizen, I've had to obtain a permit to enter the U.K. Such permits are obtained via a smart 'phone.  My friend Bill came to my home today to help me obtain the permit. It was a tedious and difficult process.  Bill and I succeeded as we worked together. I had a thank you gift for Bill  (just one bottle!) He got the humour! --------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a fairly new Epson Printer/Scanner/Copier etc It's been a source of frustration. I could not get it to work. In a time of patience I dug deep to rectify the issue. 'Twas simple. via the Control Panel I found that my default printer was not Epson but one which bit the dust some time ago. I changed the settings.  VOILA!  now my Epson works like a charm!   Oh what I was able to accomplish on a not busy day.
