- About Tim'rous Beastie
- Biography
- "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns
On turning up in her nest with the plough
Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murdering pattle.
I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
An' justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth born companion
An' fellow mortal!
I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
'S a sma' request;
I'll get a blessin wi' the lave,
An' never miss't.
Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
It's silly wa's the win's are strewin!
An' naething, now, to big a new ane,
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's win's ensuin,
Baith snell an' keen!
Thou saw the fields laid bare an' waste,
An' weary winter comin fast,
An' cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro' thy cell.
That wee bit heap o' leaves an' stibble,
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou's turned out, for a' thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winter's sleety dribble,
An' cranreuch cauld.
But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
Still thou are blest, compared wi' me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But och! I backward cast my e'e,
On prospects drear!
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear! - Interests

I'm pretty sure I clicked that suspicious-looking "Save Draft" button down there. Perhaps I didn't do it right; my clicking abilities must have suffered from that large amount of time away from the computer. (Texticulars are strange in that there is no inflection to make sarcastic statements obvious)
Unless someone can tell me how to get to the supposedly saved draft, it seems the beguiling button has lost my blog post for ever and ever.
Help?
In the mean-by, I feel like entertaining whomever is reading this, despite the substantial chance of that being absolutely no one...

White-Haired Man Whom I Shall Name Herbert: [/B](Spilling his bottle of ink for the second time) Nyyyehh! Why the Hell amn't I just using a ballpoint pen? Gross, it got on my new socks...
[b]Pink-Haired Gal I Shall Name Sue[/b]: (apparating behind Herbert) O HAI!
[b]Herbert:[/b] I thought I smelled vanilla... Where'd you come from?
[b]Sue:[/b] Classified info, babe; wHat are you up to?
[b]Herb:[/b] I'm trying to write a blog, see? I just can't seem to work the whole thing out.
[b]Sue:[/b] LET ME HELP. This is the sort of thing I'm best at!
[b]Herb:[/b] Really? That's great! Let's see... Well, first of all, what's this thing for?
[b]Sue:[/b] You mean a blog in general? It's just something to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences through!
[b]Herbie[/b]: Interesting!
[B]SUE:[/b] (Stares at Herbs expectantly) ...
[b]Herbs:[/b] W-what is it?
[b]Sue:[/b] ...
(four minutes pass thusly)
[b]Sue:[/b] :shock:
[b]Herbz:[/b] WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
[b]Sue:[/b] (frowning) You broke the chain. Dude, we were on a roll! Six lines of sentences ending in prepositions!
(The reader scrolls up to count)
[b]Herberttle:[/b] Oh my! I'm sorry, I didn't even realize! I guess I messed up...
[b]Sue:[/b] NO, don't even try to-- just, no...
[b]Herbet[/b]: Sorry... Can you just help me with my blog?
[b]Sue:[/b] No.
[b]Sherbet:[/b] :gonk:
[b]Sue:[/b] I will give you one tip, if you really want it.
[b]Herbert:[/b] Oh yes! Please do!
[b]Sue:[/b] Blogs exist on the internet. What you physically write down a blank book does not appear on the internet.
[b]Herbie[/b]: (ponders) ... What if I try really hard?
[b]Sue:[/b] NO
[b]Herberth[/b]: Even if I write with a feather instead of a pen?
[b]Sue:[/b] ESPECIALLY NO
[b]Herbert:[/b] (looks at scribbles in the notebook and his ink-stained socks) This... This is lame.
[b]Sue:[/b] Yes, but at least your non-internetstical blog will never lose your saved blog draft.
