What is Success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"As I sat by the duchess for tea,
She asked do you fart when you pee,
I said with some wit,
Do you belch when you s***,
And felt it was one up to me.."

Or

"There was a young lady from Nottingham,
Who had no manners or had forgotten them,
At tea at the vicars,
she ripped off her knickers,
Because she said she felt hot in them" - Bluebottle, The Goon Show




.... I'll see myself out...


Actually one poem(?) which helped reinforce my misery when our old hound croaked was Kipling's Power of the dog

Well Laurel and Hardy and The Goon Show are my go to comfort humour "shows" so whilst I can appreciate more traditional poetry and the like, this existence can be a lot more tolerable with the likes of them over the likes of The Young British soldier by Kipling...
