Hello all. and welcome again to your Weekly Wot’s Wot in Folkus & around the traps…
ed….
I was going to list some quotables from Pell & his minions this week but the list got far too long and far too ridiculous.
Suffice to ponder the one quote which in Pell’s case simply says it all. He was reported as having been "very excited" in the lead-up to his mass moment on Tuesday because "This will be the biggest mass I’ve ever presided over so far" …. once again reinforcing that his sole raison d’être seems related more to the euphoric effects of incense, occasion and dress-ups. He continues to fall short in his pastoral care role and is not a fitting role model for "The Young and The Restless[ly] Deluded"…
and the crass nature of the BIG SELL recruitment aspect of WYD should now of course be painfully obvious to all….
I bet they wish they had the power to impose conscription!

A sheep farmer was driving down the road one day when a traffic cop pulls him over and says, "Do you know you just made a U-turn"? The farmer replies, "Did I? Well, how about that! I knew that sometimes I make their eyes roll."
a bit hard to top last week’s pome (’twas truly a gem!) but I’ll try…
a sonnet to adventure and lure in the unknown….
On A Night of Snow
Cat, if you go outdoors, you must walk in the snow.
You will come back with little white shoes on your feet,
little white shoes of snow that have heels of sleet.
Stay by the fire, my Cat. Lie still, do not go.
See how the flames are leaping and hissing low,
I will bring you a saucer of milk like a Marguerite,
so white and so smooth, so spherical and so sweet –
stay with me, Cat. Outdoors the wild winds blow.
Outdoors the wild winds blow, Mistress, and dark is the night,
strange voices cry in the trees, intoning strange lore,
and more than cats move, lit by our eyes green light,
on silent feet where the meadow grasses hang hoar –
Mistress, there are portents abroad of magic and might,
and things that are yet to be done. Open the door! ………………… Elizabeth Coatsworth
