[Dixielandjazz] (no subject)

[Patrick Ladd]

Confession is in the air. I join the group who have never read Ulyses or 
Finnegans Wake, but by God I have tried, Oh!how I have tried.

However if you wish something on which to exercise your mind may I suggest 
Mots D`heures gousses rames.  A collection of nursery rhymes an example of 
which is
Mize treize mairie quoi y etes contree riz
Ah! d`azur garde en gros
Huit Silvere belles en echo que l`echelle
Un preux, Domede,Alain heros

Sorry but my comp does not include accents grave or acute, nor yet 
circumflex.

There are also footnotes to accompany each rhyme which are hilarious.

If anyone is stuck come back.  Back to Jazz before the list police arrive

Thanks for making some great points with a light touch, Tony. I love the 
idea of Burgess having done "A Shorter Finnegans" --didn't know about 
that--but it won't be high on my bucket list. I never noticed the lack of an 
apostrophe, but I'm not surprised that Joyce didn't use it, since he wrote 
the last 45 pagers of "Ulysses" as an run-on sentence. Makes e. e. cummings 
look like a ruddy conformist.
