Nice to make page 10.

Ten is zen, baby.

I require a certain peaceful atmosphere to read any book of consequence, and I don’t get enough of that with the youngsters about, but we’ll be taking an Alaskan cruise in August and I’ll have limited phone access, so it will be perfect to focus on Harvey reading.

Had an upsetting conversation today, but I''ll wash it down the drain later and that will be that. It was just the way something was presented to me - disrespectfully - and I don't care for that sort of thing. Some things just boggle the old mind and that's all I'll say about that.

Sorry to read that. No one should face that.

Agreed! What's wrong with some people? $:-\$

Last night, I started to post the lyrics to "A Little Priest" (a la Singdaw

), but only got through the intro...so, let's continue!

TODD:
For what's the sound of the world out there?

LOVETT:
What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?

George · « **Reply #278 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:49:13 PM »

TODD:
Those crunching noises pervading the air!

LOVETT:
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!

George · « **Reply #279 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:50:08 PM »

TODD:
It's man devouring man, my dear!

BOTH:
And [LOVETT: Then] who are we to deny it in here?

George · « **Reply #280 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:50:41 PM »

TODD: (spoken) These are desperate times,
Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for!

LOVETT: Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven!

TODD: What is that?

George · « **Reply #281 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:51:08 PM »

LOVETT:
It's priest. Have a little priest.

TODD:
Is it really good?

LOVETT:
Sir, it's too good, at least!
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,
So it's pretty fresh.

George · « **Reply #282 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:51:27 PM »

TODD:
Awful lot of fat.

LOVETT:
Only where it sat.

TODD:
Haven't you got poet, or something like that?

George · « **Reply #283 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:51:58 PM »

LOVETT:
No, y'see, the trouble with poet is
'Ow do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest!

TODD: (spoken) Heavenly!
Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps,
But then again, not as bland as curate, either!

LOVETT:
And good for business, too -- always leaves you wantin' more!
Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays!

George · « **Reply #284 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:52:24 PM »

LOVETT:
Lawyer's rather nice.

TODD:
If it's for a price.

LOVETT:
Order something else, though, to follow,
Since no one should swallow it twice!

George · « **Reply #285 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:55:59 PM »

TODD:
Anything that's lean.

LOVETT:
Well, then, if you're British and loyal,
You might enjoy Royal Marine!
Anyway, it's clean.
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it's been!

George · « **Reply #286 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:56:27 PM »

TODD:
Is that squire,
On the fire?

LOVETT:
Mercy no, sir, look closer,
You'll notice it's grocer!

George · « **Reply #287 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:56:39 PM »

TODD:
Looks thicker,
More like vicar!

LOVETT:
No, it has to be grocer --
It's green!

George · « **Reply #288 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:57:09 PM »

TODD:
The history of the world, my love --

LOVETT:
Save a lot of graves,
Do a lot of relatives favors!

George · « **Reply #289 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:57:21 PM »

TODD:
Is those below serving those up above!

LOVETT:
Ev'rybody shaves,
So there should be plenty of flavors!

George · « **Reply #290 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:59:00 PM »

TODD:
How gratifying for once to know

BOTH:
That those above will serve those down below!

George · « **Reply #291 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:59:24 PM »

LOVETT: (spoken) Now let's see, here... We've got tinker.

TODD: Something... pinker.

LOVETT: Tailor?

TODD: Paler.

LOVETT: Butler?

TODD: Subtler.

LOVETT: Potter?

TODD: Hotter.

LOVETT: Locksmith?

George · « **Reply #292 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:59:30 PM »

George · « **Reply #293 on:** July 24, 2023, 11:59:57 PM »

LOVETT:
Lovely bit of clerk.

TODD:
Maybe for a lark.

LOVETT:
Then again there's sweep
If you want it cheap
And you like it dark!

George · « **Reply #294 on:** July 25, 2023, 12:00:43 AM »

LOVETT:
Try the financier,
Peak of his career!

TODD:
That looks pretty rank.

LOVETT:
Well, he drank,
It's a bank
Cashier.

George · « **Reply #295 on:** July 25, 2023, 12:01:09 AM »

LOVETT:
Never really sold.
Maybe it was old.

TODD:
Have you any Beadle?

LOVETT:
Next week, so I'm told!
Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and
Notice 'ow well it's been greased...
Stick to priest!

George · « **Reply #296 on:** July 25, 2023, 12:02:03 AM »

LOVETT: (spoken) Now then, this might be a little bit stringy,
But then of course it's... fiddle player!

TODD: No, this isn't fiddle player -- it's piccolo player!

LOVETT: 'Ow can you tell?

TODD: It's piping hot!

LOVETT: Then blow on it first!
