From the Walrus and the Carptenter to You

Have you ever had one of those days when you have a quote stuck in your head, and you just don’t know why? It’s like having “Mama Mia” by Abba stuck in your head when you know in your heart you haven’t heard the damn song in 10 years.

For some bizarre reason I’ve a quote stuck tight in my head that keeps ringing through over and over again. No idea why. No idea where it came from or when I might have memorized it intentionally. So-I’ve decided to share the pain.

Fortunately, its not an unpleasant quote, and it harks back to a gentler time in childhood.

So here you have it:

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
