She was always fingering her organ. A sort of Medieval Cherry Wainer, really...
Like a black swan as death came on
Poured forth her song in perfect calm:
And by ocean's margin this innocent virgin
Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer,
And notes tremendous from her great engine
Thundered out on the Roman air.
- "Saint Cecilia", W.H. Auden
Today is Saint Cecilia's Day - the Patron Saint of Music.
What better way to celebrate than with a song that was written (by Paul Simon) in her honour..?
...oh, and some moist twinks to sing it for her!
Buffet!
I think I'll stick with S and G. More my age!
ReplyDeleteCough, cough. You are not 81, dear, surely? Jx
DeleteERM...NO, NOT QUITE, BUT IF YOU YOUNG LADS DON'T BURN OUT YOU'LL BE AROUND TO CELEBRATE WHEN I AM. i CAN'T FIX THE CPA LOCK COCK-UP. sORRY, NOT SORRY!
DeleteDon't shout, dear. You'll scare the boys. Jx
DeleteI scare a lot of boys...
DeleteDon't we all... Jx
DeleteThis song (the S&G version) was why I changed my name so many years ago! I do like this version tho...xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo, are you Cecilia-Savannah, or Savannah-Cecilia? 😂🤣 Jx
DeleteI like the Vamps version - but when I look at boys as young as that I am reminded that they have smelly socks, etc!
ReplyDeleteI'd cope 😜. Jx
DeleteI read that as smelly cocks.
DeleteI prefer Suggs's version of them all.
Cissy didn't play the organ with a poodle at her side like Cherry Wainer did.
You would read it that way!
DeleteAll poor Cissy had were those damned angels shedding their feathers everywhere. Jx
When I read the title, I thought maybe this was autobiographical.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! I'd need to go back a long, long, way for that to be true. Jx
DeleteWhat better way to celebrate Saint Cecilia's Day than with a bevy of singing moist twinks
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly. Jx
