Stonehenge 2008 - Some early morning (very) Solstice words

Tonight the solstice does appear
With all of it's effervescent charms
Beckons bright like Jupiter
Or may be is it Mars?

There's rain in the air
A bitter wind
To quell the minds of souls
But some are long forgotten from so many years ago

But tonight the haven appears
It's known throughout the land
Tonight is the one for re-awakening
As the Druids speak with their infinitesimal charm

The midsummer sun will be setting
Along all distant shores
Whilst on the fields of England
We pay homage to our chores

The drum beat calls for
Another speckled day
The chanting full of eruptions
And frenetically frantic at the core

So here is to a new day
All nicely in down in rhyme
All good cheer to men and women
Now isn't that sublime?

Movies:

Not my specialist subject. I know they start with a beginning except when directors try to be clever and give you the ending first and then show you how they got there.
Most films do however usually finish with an ending. Though sometimes you have to work it out yourself because the ending is left for you to guess. (Sometimes there is a sequel being planned - (How exciting ! )

Television:

Nothing to say except I used to like Whispering Bob, before the show got taken over.

Books:

Well booklet actually - the one which came with the Strawbs boxed set A Taste of Strawbs.

Heroes:

Well I have one or two - they will know who they are (I think )
