Shall we Sing a Song for you?

Another tournament, another win, and once again I got pure sunburnt. On the way home the boys thought it would be a good idea if I overtook a Porsche, so I did

We were singing this tonight. Wow! I never remember reading any of this, although I know I must have read it and sung it many times. Go and read it. In the Norris Versions if at all possible. It doesn’t have quite the same effect in prose than in metrical, for me anyway. I won’t post the whole thing cos there’s scary looking copyright notices on it and I don’t want to be shot at dawn (mainly because that’s far too early to be doing anything), but you can read it online here if you have an account on rpc.org (or a housemate with one). Here’s verses 5-9:

Why should I to fear give way
when I see each evil day,
when with wickedness my foes
will surround me and oppose?

Those who in their wealth do trust,
though they in their riches boast,
none his brother can redeem,
or pay God the price for him.

Souls’ redemption costly is;
money never could buy this ­
that from death you will be free,
and decay will never see.

Well I’m not cos I haven’t started yet, but if you are by Saturday week (27th May) then come and help our good friends in Letterkenny give out leaflets advertising their public meetings on the Da Vinci Code. The distribution will last all day and you’re to be at Mark’s house (ask someone if you dunno where that is) for half 10. But 10:30 would do ok.

Edit: Not that I’ll be going…

I get to shout abuse at Offie for at least 180 minutes next season.
