Subject:      MS-DOS: new strain of virus?

But of course it is... :-)

jcb (Jeff Bigler):

From "Carved in Granite" (newsletter of the Barony of Stonemarche of the SCA),
August 1988:

				Stuffed Camel


		        1  Whole Camel (medium size)
		        1  Whole Lamb (large)
		       20  Whole Chickens (medium size)
		       60  Eggs
		       26  Pounds of Rice
		        5  Pounds of Pine Nuts
		        5  Pounds of Pistachio Nuts
		      110  Gallons of Water
		        5  Pounds of Black Pepper
			   "Salt to Taste"

Skin, clean, and trim the camel, lamb, and chickens; boil until  tender.  Cook
rice until fluffy, not sticky.  Fry nuts  until golden brown  and mix with the
rice.  Hard boil and peel the eggs.   Stuff the chickens with  one half of the
eggs and rice/nut mixture.   Stuff  the lamb with  five chickens and more rice
mixture.  Stuff the camel with the lamb --  and more rice.   Broil in  a large
oven  or  near a gas  flame until brown.   Spread the  remaining  rice and nut
mixture  on a tray and  place the camel on top.   Place the remaining chickens
around the camel.  Decorate with the rest of the eggs and nuts.  Will  serve a
crowd of about two hundred, but they might fight over the hump.

opus (David C. Jedlinsky):

When the night wind howls
 in the chimney cowls,
and the bat in the moon-light flies,

And inky clouds,
 like funeral shrouds,
sail over the mid-night skies---

When the foot-pads quail
 at the night-birds wail,
and black dogs bay at the moon,

Then is the spectre's holiday---
 then is the ghost's high noon!
For then is the ghost's high noon, high noon,
 then is the ghost's high noon!

As the sob of the breeze
 sweeps over the trees
and the mists lie low on the fen,

From grey tomb-stones
 are gathered the bones
that once were women and men,

And away they go,
 with a mop and a mow,
to the revel that ends too soon,

For cock crow limits our holiday---
 the dead of the night's high noon!
The dead of the night's high noon, high noon,
 the dead of the night's high noon!

And then each ghost
 with his ladye-toast
to their church-yard beds take flight,

With a kiss, perhaps,
 on her lantern chaps,
and a grisly grim ``good night!''

Till the welcome knell
 of the mid-night bell
rings forth its jolliest tune,

And ushers in our next high holiday---
 the dead of the night's high noon!
The dead of the night's high noon, high noon,
 the dead of the night's high noon!

		-Gilbert & Sullivan's
		 _Ruddigore_
