WHAT’S THAT WHOOSHING SOUND IN CUMBRIA?

Posted on Wednesday 11 April 2007

It’s coming from William Wordsworth’s grave. First the plastic daffodils, and now MC Nuts:

a gigantic, rapping squirrel

The opening paragraph, memorised by schoolchildren around the globe, is now changed to: “I wandered lonely along as if I was a cloud/ That floats on high over vales and hills/ When all at once I looked down and saw a crowd/ And in my path there was a host of golden daffodils so check it.”

Wordsworth rap to lure young to lakes (Herald Sun, via richk)

There is video. (Warning: SQUIRREL AGH)

Here’s Wordsworth’s grave, though sadly without a webcam, so you can’t see the immense ring of dirt that has no doubt been thrown up by the spinning casket.

    There’s no hope for us, is there? Ridiculed by squirrels, our values chittered into a cruel parody and the last decent things left trampled under their filthy paws.
