*I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
In the sodium light
I saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter’s night

Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Genesis

Hey, thanks Shibb0leth. Actually, I don’t specialize in any shrubbery at all…Roger the Shrubber has a five second shot in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and everybody calls me Roger the Shrubber at work since we’re into the whole awful British humor scene. (Well, not everybody calls me that. Some people call me Rodge. But a good 74.3% of them). nods assuredly

  • If I were a swan I’d be gone
    If I were a train I’d be late
    And if I were a good man
    I’d talk with you more often than I do*

If | Pink Floyd

Well, a shrubbery would be nice, just over there. And p’raps another one just over there, but slightly higher, so as to give a two level affect with a little path running down in between.

Now I wasn’t, uh, knee-crawlin’, slip-slidin’, reggy-youngin’, commode-
huggin’ drunk, I was God’s own drunk, and a fearless man; And that’s when
I first saw the bear.

The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

He prayed for the moon to give him light,
For he’d many a mile to go that night,
Before he reached the town-o
