I'm in the middle of my mid-week "weekend", and I imagine that things will be weird when I return to work tomorrow. <br /><br />I will miss trying to get my sometimes reluctant feline co-worker back into his workplace after a day of mooching lunch scraps from visitors and coworkers alike. More importantly, I'll have to figure out how to keep my neck warm this winter.Big Bad Bald Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983025559556548658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-51438406213038358892013-08-21T17:30:38.092-04:002013-08-21T17:30:38.092-04:00And I thought nobody read Fritz Leiber but me!

...Have you ever read kiplings poeM<br />Power of the dog<br />Substitute dog for cat<br />And it has the same meaning<br />Here it is<br /><br />THERE is sorrow enough in the natural way<br />From men and women to fill our day; <br />And when we are certain of sorrow in store, <br />Why do we always arrange for more? <br />Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware <br />Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.<br />Buy a pup and your money will buy <br />Love unflinching that cannot lie<br />Perfect passion and worship fed <br />By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. <br />Nevertheless it is hardly fair<br />To risk your heart for a dog to tear.<br /><br />When the fourteen years which Nature permits<br />Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, <br />And the vet's unspoken prescription runs <br />To lethal chambers or loaded guns, <br />Then you will find - it's your own affair, -<br />But ... you've given your heart to a dog to tear.<br /><br />When the body that lived at your single will, <br />With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!), <br />When the spirit that answered your every mood <br />Is gone - wherever it goes - for good, <br />You will discover how much you care, <br />And will give your heart to a dog to tear!<br /><br />We've sorrow enough in the natural way, <br />When it comes to burying Christian clay. <br />Our loves are not given, but only lent, <br />At compound interest of cent per cent, <br />Though it is not always the case, I believe, <br />That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve; <br />For, when debts are payable, right or wrong, <br />A short-time loan is as bad as a long - <br />So why in - Heaven (before we are there) <br />Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?<br /><br />John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-15862790366083512622013-08-19T16:05:30.296-04:002013-08-19T16:05:30.296-04:00Aww, poor Moses.
