A Fourth Turning Tale – Something Rotten

Denmark is in the news, Dear Reader. It had to happen…

*I mean, it’s not like you didn’t start the New Year with a Hamlet post, Clicky… /lights up and smokes…*

If you’ve been following along with my Fourth Turning Tale Green Colour Revolution guide since the start of December, you may not have been surprised that the thorny subject of Greenland and its ownership was raised again last week. Although not physically green, Greenland is figuratively green in that it is vastly underdeveloped (virginal) and still bound by apron strings to Mother Denmark.

Of course, the line from Hamlet ‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark’ is spoken by a periphery figure, the guard Marcellus… Ma, sell us… 

*You could call it an ‘undiscovered country’, eh, Clicky? …/wink...*

*Ah, Patton recognition from Tom Luongo at the end… /taps ash… Weird, Patton died because of a glass partition, Clicky… /drags… You were popping off posts about glass all through the summer of ’24 after they tried to assassinate Orange Man Bad… /plumes smoke…*

*No, it was a different kind of shot to Trump’s ear, Clicky, but I like your thinking…*

*You’re right, that is like Trump! Saying mad things, spitting truth… /cough… completely throwing the bigwigs off their game. They can’t control him…*

*Quite. He’s beating them at their own game…*

*…/rolls eyes… And making them act stupid…*

*If Denmark is Greenland’s Mother, Clicky, then the EU’s Fond of Lying is its mouthy lesbian step-mum… /stubs butt…*

*Apparently the UK is sending a boot for on the ground. The game is definitely afoot…

*And the play’s the thing…*

The word ‘rotten’, Dear Reader, is an apt one for this Fourth/Winter/Crisis Turning that we are living through. It is the season of death and the stench of decay, be it in politics, culture, art or the unmistakable rot in the fabric of society itself has been making us all rather sick…

*Yep, turning us green; the process is the punishment…*

*Wait. Where’s Rotten Row?*

*Oh, it’s in a park, how very Green …/jaw drops… OMG! It was created by the original, unironic, Orange Man Bad?! Of Inglorious Revolution fame, another Fourth Turning…*

*LOL… /pats snout… Something’s in Dire Straits…*

Dear Reader, have a Song…

Someday Girl

someday (adv.)

“at some indefinite date in the future,” 1768, from some + day.

MISS SOMEDAY.

Poor Charley wooed, but wooed in vain,

From Monday until Sunday;

Still Cupid whisper’d to the swain

“You’ll conquer Betsey Someday.”

[“The Port Folio,” June 1816]

*Hello, Clicky… /lights up… That’s a good quality vid… /drags… Who uploaded it?*

Good afternoon, Dear Reader. Yesterday I received a care package from my friends Legs and Poppy. Fortunately, I knew it was coming…

Leggy tweets Roob about a mystery gift

So one parcel, Dear Reader, containing three items, one of which was a mystery thing, and two were signed. Let’s look at each in order…

Samuel’s Girl

I’d recently given a copy of ‘Six in Five in Four‘ to my IT Director at work. For his holiday; he was going sailing for a week, and so in desperate need of a collection of short stories, for dipping into when not doing important things with ropes and sails…

Mad Men

Mad Men Expanded

Although Poppy’s DVD gift was not a mystery, Dear Reader, it did have an element of surprise…

Mad Men in Danish

*/flicks ASH… Utter madness, Clicky… /drags… Still the play’s the…*

‘Mystery Thing‘

The third item in the care package was indeed signed, Dear Reader, but it wasn’t a book…

Hi Ruth

Final got this posted! The book and DVD are in the bottom of the box. On top is something I had no idea what to do with, so I thought “I know, I’ll lumber Ruth with it.” So here it is 😀

Six in Five in Four Original Artwork Signed

Do with it as you will, it probably burns well 😉

Leggy had sent me his original artwork for the cover of ‘Six in Five in Four’! On the reverse, written faintly in pencil, were the names of all six Anthology authors, alongside their alchemy symbol. Thing Two, a.k.a. Kit Kat, was most intrigued by this; he even took a copy of the book away to read…

*I know! …/stubs butt… That’s all it fucking took to get him interested, Clicky…*

Leggy tells Roob to go hang

I’ve hung Leggy’s book cover artwork in pride of place, Dear Reader, above the place where I lay down… my head to sleep… perchance to dream…

Have a Song ❤
