CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

Lo! The bird is on the wing
Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly - and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.
- The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

I think sunscreen is rather unnecessary for around eight months of the year in the UK - however we do have lots of birds here at Dolores Delargo Towers #4, so we'll need to ensure we have a parasol whenever we traverse our new extensive gardens... Jx
Delete"The Rain it Raineth Every Day (Hey Ho, the Wind and Rain)"
ReplyDeleteBut when I came unto my beds,
DeleteWith hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain it raineth every day.
Indeed it does.
