Pretty little plaything          
You walked into my door
Exactly like a hundred other playthings did before!

You wanted to be noticed        
It's safe to say you were                      
Unlike the hundred other souls who for my love do burn!
    
Of all the pretty creatures   
You're the one that I live for
There's no other way to say it's you that I adore!

Transcendental beauty     
But made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated and it’s yours and yours alone!

Tell me that you feel it    
Say that you’ll be mine
I’ll kneel before you on the floor and beg a thousand times!

Of all the perfect beings  
you're more perfect than the rest
There's no other way to say it's you that I love best!

Transcendental beauty 
But made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated and It’s yours and yours alone!

It's You That I Adore - with mOag

"Les deux reptiles et un amphibien"
Merci, mes deux grands amis. Nous l'avons bien fait

An homage to the two inspirational brothers who epitomise all that's great and noble about our glorious monarchy.

THE CHARMLESS PRINCE

Entitled to this lavish life, feasting on the fruits of others' labours
A pompous twit, a nasty bully
A boring boor - no-one adores you but yourself
You narcissistic, stunted dwarf!
The charmless prince
Living a life without a purpose, devoid of meaning - a pointless existence
The charmless prince
An amoral man, just taking everything you can, whatever you desire
Not a single ounce of decency - an advocate of modern slavery!
A nasty shit, a callous git
But now exposed - a nonce, a liar
An ignominious fall from grace
Scuttle off and hide your face!
Crawl back, you insect, from whence you came
Beneath the rock which hides your shame!
Go away and feed on shite, you good-for nothing parasite!

THE FEEBLE PRINCE

The Prince of Fails
He'll go down in history - the one flushed down the lavatory
Too cowardly to raise your voice, to challenge Mummy's foolish choice
"OK Mother, she will do - someone young and fresh and new
A breeding mare for sons and heirs"
Don't reflect and don't think twice - a necessary sacrifice
A manufactured marriage, made in Hell
Did you think we were stupid, and couldn't tell??
A faithful, fawning, blushing bride, simple and simpering, by your side
This fragile and capricious soul - undermined, discarded, cast aside
Your audacity, beyond belief - another's heart upon your sleeve
No honour, faith or loyalty - the callousness was plain to see
A fine example to us all!
The pompous pride precedes the fall
No inkling of catastrophe, the crushing car crash tragedy
The feeble prince who made no noise, who failed his wife and failed his boys...

Vive La République!  Avec Imre Lodbrog & BlueToad

Homicide at the Clackamas County Fair

It's funny how your view of music can be colored by so many factors. This piece, at least to my ears, is vintage early 50's NYC cool jazz. While I was not alive to actually witness that scene, I did frequently go to shows in the eighties and early nineties. I got to see many of the artists that were a vital part of that time in some dusty old clubs that were not changed much from their heydays. It boggles my mind that I am now the age many of those artists were at the time I first got to see them. 
 One also thinks of one's own life when listening to music. For me this style, with some others, formed the sound track to my twenties. I was raised in a house that was fairly male dominated. My brother was only eleven months younger than me but my sister was nearly seven years. When my wife, who only had a sister and was raised mostly by her mom, and I had three daughters in four years, I was introduced to a whole new world. Equally as chaotic as the home I grew up in but with a certain restraint. Sort of like this jazz. I would love to tease them. Telling them I would not make them lunch because I was tired or that I'd make them something horrible so I could save some money with cheaper ingredients. My daughter's response would often be" no daddy" on the dubious, unestablished, grounds of "Mommy said so". Using this as an unassailable high legal precedent. Hence the title. Of course my wife, in spite of being quoted, again dubiously, as a sage high moral authority more closely resembled the woman in the photo. Which also combines a nostalgia for a time I didn't witness with one I lived.
