Did the Aussies Reject Henry Fielding?

It's going round in my head all this morning. Didn't I take my meds to prevent all this cerebral borrowing? Essays can be fine for light reading, just... don't bring up marketing babies for eating. Damn H. Fielding critter, you know the Crown tried but those audacious outcasts couldn't be pried. They didn't have the babies to go around.

Additional Notes:
This is what happens when one of those mutton-eaters tick me off.

James, Thoroughly enjoyable, love your wording and your cheekyness..hmm is that a word? Well, I know you get the drift of it. So glad I'm not a mutton-eater, now lams-well, thats a different story--haha. Your wit never fails to amaze me or to bring a smile to my face... when you stand to brandish arms let me know, I'll bring the powder or perhaps just the pom-poms. Go James! Best, Lora

Go James, go! I thank you for the ghostly kick in the rear this evening. I'm enjoying this alot. I think the use of your word 'pried'-pryed-feels like a forced rhyme. It's distracting. cerebral borrowing......That's a great line! wish I had thought of it! The final 'slap is perfect. and btw-the beginning always becomes the end, sooner or later. Nice work. Smiles and smiles, Ellen

James, The mutton glutton who? Henry Fielding/Tom Jones-a foundling. I'm not connecting much. Fielding was a bit of a rogue. But eating babies.....lambs? Oh well, I got in some research. don't even worry about my score. I'm just curious. Dellena

JCH Well if that's not a personal challenge, what is? I can say with certainty that Aussies did NOT reject Henry Fielding, for the simple reason that they'd never heard of the little fucker. Dramatist and novelist, was he? Don't have much use for that shit in the antipodes. It's not the library that's visited when the Aussie male gets bored, it's the sheep shed. Whatever printed matter we do encounter is recycled in the outhouse. Please revise your views of Australians accordingly. MAH :)

Hi JCH....your humor just cracks me up!! I don't know much about your friend(?) Fielding except he lived eons ago and wrote Tom Jones...I think. "Didn't I take my meds to prevent all this cerebral borrowing?" Is a priceless line. I don't know what essay you are speaking about but no matter this poem is full of fun and I enjoyed it...several times! Best....mt
