Poem

Hey everyone, i wrote this quatrain yesterday for Tiff's class and i particularly liked it.

Two tomcast were walking down the street,
One was roughed up and the other was neat.
A man drove his Buick, quick to get to his abode,
Now there is only one cat walking down the road.

Quick Note: The thing i used to record my piano peices has dissapeared so i will hafta find any thing to record my peices, so it may be abit before i post another clipping.

Piano!

Ok, i have posted a clip of me playing the piano, but it's on my Xanga site. I'm sure you all won't mind going there to hear me beat against the keys of beauty!

If you don't have a xanga account at least get one to hear the clips. Remember, go to the top and click audios.
I will post and let you all know when i put a new audio clip on my xanga, so unless you want to hear a peice over and over again, you won't have to keep checking, i will let you know.
the current song is: Ludovico Einaudi's "Le Onde". It is about 12 seconds long and its only the beginning, it is juts a test clipping, but don't worry, stay tuned and you will hear other stuff!

It doesn't get more southern than that!

So, while i was in America i was watching a show on the Discovery channel about Hogzilla. Apparently, i think it was in mississippi, i know it was somewhere down there, a man found and shot a hog abou 12 feet long. The only other person who saw it was the sheriff and the buried it before anyone could see it. the opnly evidence was a picture of the hog tied up and the man who shot it next to the hog. There was contreversy on whether he photoshoped its size or not. But anyway, the reason im telling you this is because the swamp he found the pig was name...are ya ready for this...Okee Fanokee Swamp! I thought it was a really funny name so i had to post about it.
Anway, the pig wasn't 12 feet long, but it was an abornmally sized hog! It was about nine feet long. According to the scientist who dug up Hogzilla, he is one of the biggest wild hog recorded!

Happy 5th of November, people!!

Happy 5th of Novemeber everyone! Today is the day that a man named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the British Parliment, but was caught and executedin 1605. Unfortuanelty not everyone remembers the fifth of Novemeber. Here is a poem for the celebration of this day:

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.

By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,'
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.

Well, i hope you all have a very nice fifth of November!

-Will-
