ThatΒ’s a Murders row!  I donΒ’t see the name Horatio?
Do try a set list, if I am to follow PJR I need renew my Library card
Preparation is important.
If Houstman I must practice Iyengar and learn Sanskrit
Bhujangasana assumed.
If any of the Ladies I find myself following, well
A complete review of  Wordsworth, Coleridge,
Keats, Shelley, Whitman, Goethe, Tennyson and Wilde
Is in order.
     Did I forget to mention Blake?
Piping down the valleys wild
Piping songs of pleasant glee
On a cloud I saw a child.
And he laughing said to me.

Pipe a song about a Lamb:
So I piped with merry chear,
Piper pipe that song again --
So I piped, he wept to hear.
------
Piper sit thee down and write
In a book that all may read --
So he vanish'd from my sight,
And I pluck'd a hollow reed.

Ok I'm ready
