Let's Go Outside

Book Fair at Mount Stewart- dusty volumes and bent spines stuffed into boxes to rummage through, in one of the most beautiful National Trust properties in our wee country. Lovely. I picked up four poetry books- including “Curious and Comic Verse”, which held this little piece of gold:

“There are several reasons for drinking,
And one has just entered my head;
If a man cannot drink when he’s living
How the Hell can he drink when he’s dead?”
