On yonder hill there stands a creature, who she is I do not know,
I’ll go and court her for her beauty. She must answer yes or no.
OH, no John, no John, no John, no.
My father was a Spanish captain, went to sea a month ago.
First he kissed me, then he left me, bid me always answer “no”.
OH, no John, no John, no John, no.
Oh, madam in your face is beauty, on your lips red roses grow.
Will you take me for your husband? Madam, answer yes or no.
OH, no John, no John, no John, no.
Oh, madam, I will give you jewels, I will make you rich and free.
I will give you silken dresses. Madam, will you marry me?
OH, no John, no John, no John, no.
Oh, madam, since you are so cruel, and that you do scorn me so,
If I may not be your husband, madam, will you let me go?
OH, NO, John, no John, no John, no!
Then I will stay with you forever if you will not be unkind.
Now that I have vowed to love you, would you have me change my mind?
OH, NO, John, no John, no John, NO.
Oh, hark, I hear the church bells ringing; will you come and be my wife?
Or, dear madam, have you settled to live single all your life?
OH, NO, John, NO, John, NO, John, NO!

PWBPeeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers. We share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.
You are welcome to join us!
Here are few not-too-onerous PWB rules
- Do not “Troll” the Pootie Peeps Diaries. If you don’t like animal diaries, there’s no need to tell us about it. Just go find some other diary more to your liking.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- If you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
- If you’re not sure about an issue...please ask. Someone is always glad to help.
This is an open thread.
