And Then, Past Words...

   I’m delighted, much to the annoyance of those that would rule over us I’m sure, to announce that tomorrow I’ll be celebrating yet another birthday. Celebrating? Okay, giving thanks. How old am I? I don’t give that information out but it comprises of the numerals – that’s numbers for younger readers - five and a seven; not in that order...
   Well, so, as I look around at the state we’re in and wondering wot we’re all being gently{?} coaxed towards, I’m reminded of an old number I’ve featured way back and you have to marvel at the foresight of the author/composer as those words, from so long ago, are so pertinent regards where we find ourselves right now.  Read then play the track; very easy listening.

I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.
[Establishment] Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles, and miles of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
And now to suit our
Great computer,
You're magnetic ink.

I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
[Inner Man] There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles.
For it riles them to believe
That you perceive
The web they weave.
And keep on thinking free.

Happy birthday Mac. I don't know what we’re all being coaxed towards, but maybe we should just laugh at them and enjoy life. Another lot of loons will be along shortly anyway.

Elwyn,
Tanks for that and best wishes to you and yours for the festive{?}season.
"you and your buddy" reads okay to me.
It was always called one big gift instead of two small ones. I've been conned from a very early age...

Mac said...

A A Haart,
Thank you. Yes, keep smiling and carry-on. Looking at energy prices, it looks like it'll be a case of, if Covid don't get ya, hypothermia will...
Stay happy my friend.

Have a great birthday Mac, followed by a perfect Christmas and a happy new year.

Christmas always reminds me of the dyslexic devil worshipper who sold his soul to Santa..
