I found a ladybird that I couldn't put a name to a few days ago ...and so I started the hunt for my terrific Ladybird book which, of course, I couldn't find ... and I still haven't. I've even looked for it on Amazon ... zilch, nowt, dim byd, nicht ..and so on. BUT ...I did find something .. an ancient copy of "Twitching" magazine ...Vol 1, #11.. older readers might remember it .... after that first year (1987) it turned into "Birding World." Then that folded Jan 2014. And in that " dug-up-from-the-distant-past" slim volume was an excellent article by one Michael Williams .. it's so good, I wish I'd written it..... read on, dear readers .... Naturally, I have written quite a bit on here about Dipping ...and "Fear of Dipping." Nowadays, I don't do proper twitching .... because it hurts too much if I don't see "it". Just you wait till you get old .... you'll probably start to feel the same. Waiting around to die.................. Sometimes I don't know where
This stony road is taking me Sometimes I don't know the reason why So I guess I'll keep gambling Lots of booze and lots of rambling Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die Well, one time, friends I had a ma, I even had a pa He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried She told him to take care of me And headed down to Tennessee Well, it's easier than just waiting around to die Then I became of age And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly Well, I tried to kill the pain I bought some wine, I hopped a train Well, it was easier than just waiting around to die Then a friend said he knew Where some easy money was We robbed a man and brother, did we fly But the posse caught up with me And drugged me back to Muskogee And now it's two long years, just waiting around to die Now I'm out of prison And I got me a friend at last He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie His name is Codeine And he's the nicest thing I've seen And together, we're gonna wait around to die
