    ~The Silver-Tongued Devil~

     

        
       
    I took myself down to the Tally-Ho Tavern
    To buy me a bottle of beer
    I set myself down by a tender young maiden
    Whose eyes were as dark as her hair
    And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
    For something unfoolish to say
    That silver-tongued devil just slipped from the shadows
    And smilingly stole her away.
     
    Chorus:
    I said, "Hey little girl, don't you know he's the devil!
    He's everything that I ain't
    Hiding intentions of evil
    Under the smile of a saint
    All he's good for is getting in trouble
    And shifting his share of the blame
    And some people swear he's my double
    And some even say we're the same"
    But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
    And I'll only live 'til I die
    We take our own chances and pay our own dues
    The silver-tongued devil and I.
     
    Like all the fair maidens
    Who've laid down beside him
    She knew in her heart that he lied
    But nothing that I could have said
    Could've saved her
    No matter how hard that she tried
    'Cause she'll offer her charms
    To darkness and danger
    Of something that she's never known
    And open her arms
    At the smile of a stranger
    Who'll love her and leave her alone.
     
    Chorus:
    And you know he's the devil
    He's everything that I ain't
    Hiding intentions of evil
    Under the smile of  saint
    All he's good for is getting in trouble
    And shifting his share of the blame
    And some people swear he's my double
    And some even say we're the same
    But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
    And I'll only live 'til I die
    We take our own chances and pay our own dues
    The silver-tongued devil and I.

    ~Rambling On~

    Another day almost in the waste-basket...in a few minutes, time to cuddle up with a cold bottle of black ale and a warm greeting from my better half.  And tomorrow, she'll try to dress my Swiss/Spanish body in Irish green, and I'll try to slip into something more suitable if I'm not too sleepy to notice...maybe something more subtle like my orange pull-over.
     
    All-in-all, not a bad day...any day you make it thru' in one piece can't be all bad...but a little more messed up than most.  Still, if it all end's well, as it did, the day's OK.  It could be worse, they always say (I never did know who "they" are, but "they" probably know),  "they"  do always say those things like "they" know some secret "they" are keeping from we lowly peons.  If justice is truly poetic, as sometimes "they" say, maybe things will get worse...but only for "they". 
     
    Well, time for the night-cap.  I highly recommend the New Belgium Brewing Co's black ale blend titled "1554".  Even "they" would enjoy a sip or two (but I am not sharing mine with "they").
     
    'Night all!
