Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 



Gound: Mucus produced by the eyes during sleep



Vilipend: To hold or treat as of little worth or account



Shotclog: One who is tolerated only because he pays the shot, or reckoning, for the rest of the company, otherwise a mere clog on them



Gyles' poem this week was ‘An Argument’ by Thomas Moore



I've oft been told by learned friars,

That wishing and the crime are one,

And Heaven punishes desires

As much as if the deed were done.



If wishing damns us, you and I

Are damned to all our heart's content;

Come, then, at least we may enjoy

Some pleasure for our punishment!





A Sony Music Entertainment production.
