French Vinyl

How do you plan to be swept up in the moment?

Pomp

Some Edward Elgar, please…
Yes, on the French Horn, if you don’t have an English one,
Just as in that Thomas Phillips painting of Windsor Castle.
As the black vinyl record spins round,
Regard how the sounds seem to emanate from the very stone,
Isn’t she beautiful, Emerald Green,
Our England, our Queen.
Perhaps I may tear and sob as she passes by.

What moment? – I’ve been on this damn site so long I’ve stopped reading the newspaper. Is our dear Queen jetting off to the USA?
(I at last get to use the lol thing – for your ‘if you don’t have an English one’ joke.
Are you going to -tear, as in rip? What part of you will be doing this? Your heart, maybe?
