Enjoy Susie’s (trendy) Trio for the week: 



Cheugy:The opposite of trendy.

Yeet: To forcefully throw something, or, an expression of excitement.

Sliving: Living your best life.



Gyles' poem this week was ‘When ‘You Are Old’ by W.B. Yeats



When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;



How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;



And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 



Bywhopen (now obsolete): Made senseless; stupefied.



Heartspoon: A part of the breastbone.



Coccyx: a triangular arrangement of bone that makes up the very bottom portion of the spine below the sacrum.



Gyles' poem this week was ‘The ‘Fairies by William Allingham



Up the airy mountain,

Down the rushy glen,

We daren’t go a-hunting

For fear of little men;

Wee folk, good folk,

Trooping all together;

Green jacket, red cap,

And white owl’s feather!



Down along the rocky shore

Some make their home,

They live on crispy pancakes

Of yellow tide-foam;

Some in the reeds

Of the black mountain-lake,

With frogs for their watchdogs,

All night awake.



High on the hill-top

The old King sits;

He is now so old and grey

He’s nigh lost his wits.

With a bridge of white mist

Columbkill he crosses,

On his stately journeys

From Slieveleague to Rosses;

Or going up with music

On cold starry nights,

To sup with the Queen

Of the gay Northern Lights.



They stole little Bridget

For seven years long;

When she came down again

Her friends were all gone.

They took her lightly back,

Between the night and morrow,

They thought that she was fast asleep,

But she was dead with sorrow.

They have kept her ever since

Deep within the lake,

On a bed of flag-leaves,

Watching till she wake.



By the craggy hillside,

Through the mosses bare,

They have planted thorn trees

For pleasure, here and there.

Is any man so daring

As dig them up in spite,

He shall find their sharpest thorns

In his bed at night.



Up the airy mountain,

Down the rushy glen,

We daren’t go a-hunting

For fear of little men;

Wee folk, good folk,

Trooping all together;

Green jacket, red cap,

And white owl’s feather!

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 



Gound: Mucus produced by the eyes during sleep



Vilipend: To hold or treat as of little worth or account



Shotclog: One who is tolerated only because he pays the shot, or reckoning, for the rest of the company, otherwise a mere clog on them



Gyles' poem this week was ‘An Argument’ by Thomas Moore



I've oft been told by learned friars,

That wishing and the crime are one,

And Heaven punishes desires

As much as if the deed were done.



If wishing damns us, you and I

Are damned to all our heart's content;

Come, then, at least we may enjoy

Some pleasure for our punishment!
