“The old shepherd had died, or got drunk, or got rats, or got the sack, or a legacy, or got sane, or chucked it, or got lost, or found, or a wife, or had cut his throat, or hanged himself, or got into Parliament or the peerage—anyway, anything had happened to him that can happen to an old shepherd or any other man in the bush, and he wasn't there.”

“I went to a garden party
to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party
they all knew my name
no one recognized me
I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself
People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
N' over in the corner
much to my surprise
Mr Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes
wearing his disguise
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself . . .”

Ricky Nelson (1940–1985) American musician (1940-1985)

Is it not evil?
Offer it then to your governor!
Would he be pleased with you?
Would he accept you favorably?
Says the LORD of hosts.”
