Fluff

I haven't been blogging for a number of reasons.

- I haven't felt like it!

- it's summer and I've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather to get outside as much as possible.

- I've devoted more time to improving my health and physical fitness; working out at the gym and going cycling.

- my family history project demands a fair bit of time.


Added to those activities are things such as family time, friends, household chores, reading, and more. I'm certainly beginning to understand why I often hear retired people talk about how busy their lives have become.

But it's all good! Life is good!

Speaking of history; I came across some silly stuff related to history - an amusing little ditty by The Arrogant Worms called History is made by Stupid People. Some fluff to lighten up the day.



Scott became famous for freezing to death in Antarctica
Columbus made history thinking some island was India
General Custer's a national hero for
not knowing when to run
All of these men are famous
And they're also very dumb


History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you want a place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die

Nobility are famous for no reason
Mary Antoinette enjoyed her cake
She caused a revolution when she would not share
And her husband lost his head for that mistake


The Hindenburg was a giant zepplin
Its makers made a minor oversight
Before they filled it up with explosive gas
They should have fixed the no-smoking light


History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you want a place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die


Tally-ho! Tally-ho!
Our king and country's honour we will save!
Tally-ho! Tally-ho!
We're marching into history and the grave!


So if your son and daughter seem too lazy
Sitting there watching bad TV
Just remember you should be quite grateful
At least they are not making history
 
History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you want a place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die
Do something dumb before you die
Do something dumb before you die



Have a great day!
