My word; did I write that less than three years ago, or do I have an alter ego? No wonder I had a notion I'd seen those boots before. Mind you, if it wasn't that I have the same thing every morning, today I wouldn't even be able to remember what I had for breakfast. DaveP
There was one who was famed for the number of things
He forgot when he entered the ship:
His umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,
And the clothes he had bought for the trip.
He had forty-two boxes, all carefully packed,
With his name painted clearly on each:
But, since he omitted to mention the fact,
They were all left behind on the beach.
The Hunting of the Snark. Lewis Carroll.
