    Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 



    Splurgundy (Australian English): Sparkling burgundy.

    Scrouge: To encroach on someone’s personal space.

    Sardonian: One who flatters with deadly intent.



    Gyles' poem this week was 'Where We Began' by Irving Berlin



    Heaven, I'm in heaven

    And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

    And I seem to find the happiness I seek

    When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek



    Heaven, I'm in heaven

    And the cares that hung around me through the week

    Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

    When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek



    Oh, I love to climb a mountain

    And to reach the highest peak

    But it doesn't thrill me half as much

    As dancing cheek to cheek



    Oh, I love to go out fishing

    In a river or a creek

    But I don't enjoy it half as much

    As dancing cheek to cheek



    Dance with me

    I want my arm about you

    The charm about you

    Will carry me through to Heaven



    A Sony Music Entertainment production.

    Gyles' poem this week was 'If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking' by Emily Dickinson



    If I can stop one heart from breaking,

    I shall not live in vain;

    If I can ease one life the aching,

    Or cool one pain,

    Or help one fainting robin

    Unto his nest again,

    I shall not live in vain.



    A Sony Music Entertainment production.

    Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:   



    Catillate: To lick the dish. 

    Phubbing: Using your phone in social situations. 

    Blandish: To cajole or to gently flatter.  



    Gyles' poem this week was 'The Tyger' by William Blake  

    Tyger Tyger, burning bright,  

    In the forests of the night;  

    What immortal hand or eye,  

    Could frame thy fearful symmetry?  



    In what distant deeps or skies.  

    Burnt the fire of thine eyes? 

    On what wings dare he aspire? 

    What the hand, dare seize the fire?  



    And what shoulder, & what art, 

    Could twist the sinews of thy heart? 

    And when thy heart began to beat. 

    What dread hand? & what dread feet?  



    What the hammer? what the chain, 

    In what furnace was thy brain? 

    What the anvil? what dread grasp. 

    Dare its deadly terrors clasp?  



    When the stars threw down their spears  

    And water'd heaven with their tears: 

    Did he smile his work to see? 

    Did he who made the Lamb make thee?  



    Tyger Tyger burning bright, 

    In the forests of the night: 

    What immortal hand or eye, 

    Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?  



    A Sony Music Entertainment production.
