They've let him lie for a very long time, 'til the rains from heaven did fall
And little Sir John sprung up his head and so amazed them all
They've let him stand 'til Midsummer's Day 'til he looked both pale and wan
And little Sir John's grown a long long beard and so become a man

Good morning, everyone! This song came out 33 years ago, and still sounds fresh to me! But although the song is great, I'm not a fan of either of the drinks made from barley. That's why I'm drinking Ahmad's "English Breakfast" tea this morning instead of beer or whiskey. I suppose that's healthier, although probably not as much fun at parties. Tea just isn't as festive. I've never been served tea with a little bamboo umbrella in it. There are no good books that start off with "so I was sitting on the beach in Fiji, watching half-naked island girls cavorting in the surf, while drinking a cup of Lipton's." We miss out on all the fun...

Hmmm ... I think must have lost a decade somewhere. Not really surprising, given my lifestyle ...
Having a diet Pepsi after dinner.
