Ancient and Appended Notes. (2004)
Paul Nachbar (1957-)
Winter is icumin in
Softly sigh oy veh
Tho som things ar not so bad
O otters best not say
Aye the raindrops make un frown
Butte stille folkes kann smile
An tho germs can drag um down
Aye som things ar vile
Ofteems have u sung Goddamn
Who could holp yself?
Best to heere finde some frends
Whoo know ye'r no one else
An porhaps to passe the while
Dar amung the ville, the vile
O the Goddamn stoff goes on
Yes Goddamn it doess
Put y in ets propre place
Tis the baddest of disgrace
Wan saddest poetes loseth face
So herin i trye to frendlie be
Tho y seems ignoring me
Beste nu on the safest side
N mebbe nought not world war three.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Or, as the Gunpowder Plot was recalled in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer:
Almighty God, who hast in all ages shewed thy Power and Mercy in the miraculous and gracious deliverances of the Church, and in the protection of righteous and religious Kings and States professing thy holy and eternal truth, from the wicked conspiracies and malicious practices of all enemies thereof: We yield thee our unfeigned thanks and praise, for the wonderful and mighty Deliverance of our gracious Sovereign King James the First, the Queen, The Prince, and all the Royal Branches, with the Nobility, Clergy, and Commons of England, then assembled in Parliament, by Popish treachery appointed as sheep to the slaughter, in a most barbarous and savage manner, beyond the examples of former ages. From this unnatural Conspiracy, not our merit, but thy mercy; not our foresight, but thy providence delivered us: And therefore not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name be ascribed all honour and glory, in all Churches of the saints, from generation to generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Man, they don't write 'em like that any more.

APPROACH OF WINTER
by William Carlos Williams
The half-stripped trees
struck by a wind together,
bending all,
the leaves flutter drily
and refuse to let go
or driven like hail
stream bitterly out to one side
and fall
where the salvias, hard carmine--
like no leaf that ever was--
edge the bare garden.
(c)1921 by William Carlos Williams

Blow On Chilly Wind
A little gray around the crown
A little hint of slowing down
She puts on some old evening gown
And dances alone
Years are hazy and days are slow
The seasons come and the reasons go
And while the wind and memory blows
She turns to stone
Sayin’
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blow
Yeah let the chilly wind blow
Down the halls that whisper names
Through the walls and the picture frames
It’s not just old in here
It’s swirling underneath the door
And all around the cabinet drawers
It’s getting pretty cold in here
But I say
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blow
Let the chilly wind blow
And the chilly wind will blow
I took a walk down by Shaker Square
A Christmas tree was standing there
That same old chill was in the air
And I buttoned up my overcoat
I thought of things that change and things that don’t
How they say some folks will and some folks won’t
But I say
Blow on, blow on chilly wind
Go ahead and blow
Blow on chilly wind
Just let the chilly wind blow
Let the chilly wind blow
And the chilly wind will blow
Said you must blow on, Mama
Blow on chilly wind
You must blow on

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds -
November!
- Thomas Hood, No!

No heat, no sweat, No damn'd sun that blazes; No stinging insects, No lethargy, no lack of energy, No surprising pit viper that in the sun lazes. GRR-RR to the other one!
