Joel Veena - Kaa's Hunting - Live at the Kipling House
"Joel Veena and friends bring this Jungle Book tale to life with live music, sound effects and narration at the historic Kipling House in Dummerston, Vermont."
If you can keep your balls aloft
When all about you are dropping theirs
And blaming it on you

@futurebird @mansr #Proverbs 6:7 starts an excellant rumination on ants, but I can't find the bit where they chat back. And the Proverbs of Solomon are one of the Jewish texts in the Christian Bible, accepted by all churches. Are you thinking of the #Wisdom of Solomon, which some protestants reject?
Somewhat relatedly, everyone should read #Kipling's "The Butterfly That Stamped", one of the Just So Stories.
A tale that #Kipling neglected to include in Just So Stories.

Here's a snippet of Rudyard #Kipling's #Poem #Pan in #Vermont; Pan, god of #Spring, tricks #Gardeners.
What though his #Phlox & #Hollyhocks are half a month demised?
What though his #Ampelopsis clambered not as advertised?
Though every seed was guaranteed & every standard true –
Forget, forgive they did not live! Believe & buy anew!
But where his goat's hoof cut the crust - #Beloved, look below
He's left us (I'll #Forgive him all) a #Mayflower 'neath the #Snow!

Here's a #Garden excerpt from #RikkiTikkiTavi:
"Rikki-tikki had a right to be proud of himself.
But he did not grow too #Proud.
& He kept that #Garden as a #Mongoose should keep it,
w/ #Tooth
& #Jump
& #Spring
& #Bite,
Till never a #Cobra dared show its head inside the walls."

#OTD Rudyard #Kipling, #English #Writer & #Poet, is born.
In 1902, he purchased land called #Batemans in #EastSussex.
After winning the #NobelPrize for #Literature, he spent his #Prize money on his #Garden w/ a #SecretDoor & #Sundial inscribed:
"It's #Later than you think."
Ruddy kept a little boat in his #Pond for his kids; #Friends had adventures there, too.
After some names in the family #Guestbook, Rudyard added the letters F.I.P. for Fell in Pool.
