    Hang them from your ears like ear rings

    Hey, that's quite a novel idea Mr B for carrying them about, if you're a girl.  : )

    I see lots of "guys" wearing ear rings these days, but not me.🤣

    I had posted the following in The Last Word, but was subsequently advised to post it here because no one reads TLW and it would be cruel to expect, or request, that anyone go there. So....here it is re-posted....a little gift for my friend Craig:

    Wow, too bad Dodgy and Mio not around to read that...(well, maybe Mio, but we will not know for weeks as his reply has to clear moderation). I think both would be glad to see an original reply without the need for quotes.... :)

    I am glad you like the song. All in good fun. I enjoyed creating it.

    Not necessarily, many read but do not post. I can not blame anyone for not posting (or reading for that matter).

    I read the posts. Just too lazy to respond.

    All houses wherein men have lived and died
    Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
    The harmless phantoms on their errands glide,
    With feet that make no sound upon the floors.

    We meet them at the door-way, on the stair,
    Along the passages they come and go,
    Impalpable impressions on the air,
    A sense of something moving to and fro.

    There are more guests at table than the hosts
    Invited; the illuminated hall
    Is thronged with quiet, inoffensive ghosts,
    As silent as the pictures on the wall.

    The stranger at my fireside cannot see
    The forms I see, nor hear the sounds I hear;
    He but perceives what is; while unto me
    All that has been is visible and clear.

    We have no title-deeds to house or lands;
    Owners and occupants of earlier dates
    From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands,
    And hold in mortmain still their old estates.

    The spirit-world around this world of sense
    Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
    Wafts through these earthly mists and vapours dense
    A vital breath of more ethereal air.

    Our little lives are kept in equipoise
    By opposite attractions and desires;
    The struggle of the instinct that enjoys,
    And the more noble instinct that aspires.

    These perturbations, this perpetual jar
    Of earthly wants and aspirations high,
    Come from the influence of an unseen star
    An undiscovered planet in our sky.

    And as the moon from some dark gate of cloud
    Throws o’er the sea a floating bridge of light,
    Across whose trembling planks our fancies crowd
    Into the realm of mystery and night,—

    So from the world of spirits there descends
    A bridge of light, connecting it with this,
    O’er whose unsteady floor, that sways and bends,
    Wander our thoughts above the dark abyss.
