7.4k, and just for the record: saladmonkeylamb I hate you.

( because Nano is for making cryptic remarks about a novel no one else has ever seen! )

In other news, it's fall (pretty leafy things outside my window! and all over the ground!), and I need to go see about a lawnmower, before I forget again.

8.6k and the harp of bone

two sisters walked by a miller’s stream
o the wind and the rain
the one behind pushed the other one in
o the dreadful wind and rain

she floated on down to the miller’s pond
o the wind and the rain
stop the dam there swims a swan
o the dreadful wind and rain

the millers’ son ran down the hill
o the wind and the rain
pulled her out of his mill wheel
o the dreadful wind and rain

he made a little fiddle of her breastbone
o the wind and the rain
whose sound would melt a heart of stone
o the dreadful wind and rain

the only tune that the fiddle would play
was "o the wind and the rain"
the only tune that the fiddle would play was
"o the dreadful wind and rain"

This is not quite stuck in my head, since I still don't really know the tune. Oh well.
