a fox may steal your hens, sir

I am very glad that I was not planning to travel via Heathrow Terminal 5, and have no plans to do so in the future. (Since BAA has displayed a truly farcical level of incompetence.) Sigh. It would have been so nice if they had been competent and it had all worked properly.

It was raining today. Not heavily, but certainly depressingly.

Currently have The Beggar's Opera on iTunes. Now why couldn't a few of these songs have shown up in that post yesterday?

A fox may steal your hens, Sir,
A whore your health and pence, Sir,
Your daughter rob your chest, Sir,
Your wife may steal your rest, Sir,
A thief your goods and plate.
But this is all but picking,
With rest, pence, chest and chicken;
It ever was decreed, Sir,
If lawyer’s hand is fee’d, Sir,
He steals your whole estate.

- The Beggar's Opera, John Gay
