Oh, how I'd like to be queen, Pa,
And ride in my kerridge to Kew,
Wearing a gold crinoline, Pa,
And sucking an orange or two.
Oh, how I'd like to be queen, Pa,
Watching my troops at review,
Sucking a ripe tangerine, Pa,
And sporting a sparkler or two--
With slippers of crimson shagreen, Pa,
And all of my underclose new!
-Joan Aiken, Dido and Pa, 20-21.

i like your new bookish background. It reminds me very much of the left wall of your apartment's living room. :)
ps: i am very happy LC is back at your apartment this year. I like being all crammed in, with the queso and chips close in reach as I sit on your plaid couch. :)
