Your Harry bounces quite well

Your Prince Harry is in New York, in case you were wondering and have missed him. So is his pop.

He bounces quite well. He did get up and remount his pony. I mean got back in the saddle again. You know what I mean.

I'm really sorry

I want to apologize to my throngs of South African readers for writing the word fag in one of my other posts today. I want to say it was just a slip of the tongue but somehow that seems even worse. Just put down the vuvuzelas and go home. The party is over anyway.

Times Past

Whistling Gypsy/Uisce in the Jar (Gilgarry Mountain)

Singing America

I, too, sing America

I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.

Tomorrow,

I'll be at the table

When company comes,
Nobody'll dare

Say to me
"Eat in the kitchen,"

Then.

Besides,

They'll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.
