The Little Mermaid

(again, I can't stop thinking about that totally cry while rolling all over the floor laughing version of Disney's The Little Mermaid singing in the cave song that my friend did at the burlesque event I went to - ending in her dressed in nothing but three spangly stick on starfish).

The captain's wife was Mabel
And whenever she was able ...
etc, etc

Funny how these bits of bad doggerel stick in one's mind

a cruise on the good ship Venus...

a cruise on the good ship Venus...

I must go down to the sea again
To the lonely sea and the sky.
And all I ask is a tall ship
And a star to steer her by.

Masefield.

Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.

(Ishmael, Moby Dick - Melville)

LOL, Epistemology of the Closet - that marriage bed, eh Tio?

Poet Laureate

Ted Hughes.

I read the most hilarious spoof of his stuff when he was made PL. It was entitled On the Birth of Prince Harry or something, and it went something like:

The dead black crow in the Black Crow stream
Dams the waters
On this damp drizzly November [referencing the Melville here, you see ] day
When Prince Harry was born.
