This is not about a certain subject, I hope. I would not like to be the man, when he gets up. He looks perilously near the edge. His belle may be well advised not to help him up. Somehow (how?) I'm reminded of an old song.

Lyrics of Let Him Go Let Him Tarry

Let him go let him Tarry let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him

He can go and find another that I hope he will enjoy

For I am gonna marry a far nicer boy

Farewell to cold winter summer's come at last

Nothing have I gained but my true love I have lost

I'll sing and I'll be happy like the birds upon the tree

For since he deceived me

I care no more for he

Let him go let him Tarry let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him

He can go and find another that I hope he will enjoy

For I am gonna marry a far nicer boy

He wrote to me a letter saying he was very bad

I sent him back an answer saying I was awful glad

He wrote to me another saying he was well and strong

But I care no more about him than the ground he walks upon

Let him go let him Tarry let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him

He can go and find another that I hope he will enjoy

For I am gonna marry a far nicer boy

Ooh

He can go to his old mother now and set her mind at ease

I hear she is an old old woman very hard to please

It's slighting me and talking ill is what she's always done

Because I was courting her great big ugly son

Let him go let him Tarry let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him

He can go and find another that I hope he will enjoy

For I am gonna marry a far nicer boy

Let him go let him Tarry let him sink or let him swim

He doesn't care for me and I don't care for him

He can go and find another that I hope he will enjoy

For I am gonna marry a far nicer boy

Yes I am gonna marry a far nicer boy hey.

Reminds me of when I visited the Grand Canyon.  I was amazed at how people were so laxidaysical (sp) about walking near to the edge.  When I remarked about this to one of the wardens, he said that they have a pet phrase when giving advice about this.  "Watch out" he said, "That first step is a real doozie".

Happy New Year to All.
