"In the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love"
Frieda Fruitcake writes: What heathen wrote this?The Captain tells me it's a certain "Alfred Lord Tennyson" apparently.
A grand name, I'll give him that.
But who is he? That's what I'd like to know!
Some silly pop star or something no doubt. Obviously not a Christian anyway. Hasn't he heard of the precious and most holy Gift of Singleness? I mean, it's only been in the Bible for the last THIRTY YEARS!
I give him a year or so and no one will ever have heard of him!

"Thoughts of love" indeed!
Sinful, sinful, sinful discontent!
Such worldliness!
Such idolatry!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Frieda, for bringing this to our attention!
Correction Frieda, it's only been in the modern "interpretive" versions of the Bible for the last 30 years, like The Living Translation and The Message.
I am sure the others will come up to speed soon!
