Salutations, gentlefolk !
Little mammals ...
Scurrying through the fields and meadows and marshes
We scarcely notice them,
except when they enter 'our' homes or mess with 'our' food
and then we tend to get quite peturbed ...
But from back in the olden days
when our mythology was being composed
there comes a story
about some of those little mammals
who were much bigger and stronger and braver
than their relatives today.
And in the great battles
against the monsters we now remember only in nightmares
they fought by our side
and helped free Mankind from darkness and fear
And that's why, even today
in the depths of winter
people gather, around the world ...
with their family and friends,
to celebrate ...
... Super Vole Sunday ;-)
Hope yours is a happy one !
Yrs, John Desmond
