Solstitial salutations! Today is also the International Day of Yoga! I think I'll refrain from indulging.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

We sailed the wintry sea
She'd have been sailing yet, sir
But she struck on a Christmas tree

The silent pirates of the shore
Eat and sleep soft, and pocket more
Than any red, robustious ranger
Who picks his farthings hot from danger.
