When I was at school
Our English teacher, Mrs Rowan
Once asked of us as homework,
During the half term holiday
To memorize our favourite poem,
This was met by groans,
By the class, but not me
I chose A.E.Housman’s
“Ode to an athlete dying young”
And it has stayed with me ever since
If people, make demands of you
Disarm them skilfully
Give them more than they expect
And do it cheerfully
If you spend your time associating
With
well-mannered individuals
Your
own manners will improve
And
you will polish up like a jewel
If
you spend your time associating
With
the hard working and decent
You
will take on board their ethic
And
be a decent hard-working resident
If
you spend your time associating
With
vagabonds and lowly bums
Then
a lonely wretch upon the streets
Is
what you will surely become
If
you spend your time associating
With
the filthy rich and famous
You
will be left to pick up the tab
And
die in the gutter alone and penniless
Who killed doc robin
What’s
up doc?
When
a man loves
Where
danger lives
Why
is that

former S.S. Captain, who commanded a concentration camp during World War II.
His investigation leads him to Simon Wiesenthal (Shmuel Rodensky) and to a group of Israeli
Secret Service.
Miller
eventually finds himself involved with the powerful organization of former S.S.
members, called “O.D.E.S.S.A.” and he s trained to infiltrate them.
Sometimes you can talk
Your
way out of a ticket
A
little bit of charm
Is
probably the safest bet
Humour
can work as well
So,
say to the men in blue
“You
don’t need to check
In
the boot do you?”
Are you wearing cellulite cream?
And is that workin’ for yer?
I only ask as it looks like
You’re covered in tapioca
