Poem of the Day number fifty-six, Mr. Coggs, Watchmaker, by Edward Ferrall Lucas

Poem of the Day number forty-nine: King Arthur, by Anonymous

My first non-poem post in what, 48 days?

I’m just here to say I’m obsessed with the Postmodern Jukebox cover of “All About That Bass” and to post the video here in case you, too, need a song to obsess over.

I’m all about that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble! It’s fun to choose one of the harmony parts and sing along :)
