A PAIR OF MONKEYS
As two monkeys were getting into the bath
The
first monkey had prepared for them
And
the second one said: “Oo, oo, aah, ahh”
The
first retorted “Put some cold in then”
I GOT MY FATHER’S LOOKS
I got all my looks from my father
Much
to my detriment
I’m
thinking in particular of
The
look of disappointment
WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNG CHILD
When I was just a young child
I
was subject to multiple attacks
My
father assailed me with cameras
And
I still suffer from flashbacks
VOCAB
It’s important to have a good and robust
Vocabulary,
varied and diverse
And
I have learned to my cost

The
words antidote and anecdote,
Several
lives wouldn’t have been lost
ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS (1957)
“The
Spirit of St. Louis” is a biographical drama, based on the book by Charles A.
Lindbergh adapted by Charles Lederer and Directed by Billy Wilder.
The
film is a Biography of Charles “Slim” Lindburgh’s life, covering the period
from his days on the precarious mail runs in aviation's infancy with his friend
Bud Gurney (Murray Hamilton) to his solo transatlantic crossing from Roosevelt
Field on New York's Long Island to Le Bourget Airport in Paris.
But
he was more than a pilot because Charles Augustus 'Slim' Lindbergh (James
Stewart) co-financed the Spirit of St. Louis, a fabric-covered,
single-seat, single-engine “Ryan NYP” high-wing monoplane which he jointly
designed with Ryan's chief engineer Donald A. Hall (Arthur Space).
But
the drama of the story comes once he is airborne and alone in the empty skies
with only the open ocean below him.

I hate it with a passion
My boss says I don’t possess
