So.....

"I think that you are quite the fool"
said to Hellman, while he sucked off a mule
"don't you find that quite sordid?"
"Mais non!" he retorted.
"In France we are taught this at school!!"

eyes so bright
mister smith goes to
flushing to carry my dreams
on his shoulders like
some hawt hobbit

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

[CaptainWacky]

It's what Tolkien used to sing to C.S. Lewis!

well I hope you don't have to get through it, but actually find it a riveting page-turner, which it is, imho.

Some of my favorite books originally took 100 pages or more to get my interest.

Barker's Imajicia, for example.
