I snapped these two in a Parisian cemetery.
Reminds me of Barbara Windsor (Peggy) in Eastenders "Get outta ma pub" - "Get outta my cemetery"!

The Twa Corbies
As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies making a mane;
The tane unto the t'other say,
'Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'
'In behint yon auld fail dyke,
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies there,
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.
'His hound is to the hunting gane,
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady's ta'en another mate,
So we may mak our dinner sweet.
'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
We'll, theek our nest when it grows bare.
'Mony a one for him makes mane,
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they we bare,
The wind sall blaw for evermair.'

Which cemetery is it Jeane? It isn't Pere Lachaise by any chance?

That one was from Montermarte Rick. I did Pere Lachaise, Monterparnasse and Passy and the catacombs as well!

Pere Lachaise is magnificent. My hero is buried there.

Pope Pius 93rd by any chance?

Yay! Jim Morrison, my hero. I have actually been twice to see him. It was fascinating to see Oscar Wilde too, I've always enjoyed his plays and Dorian Gray.

A sort of "break on through" moment perhaps?

Never really thought about it Jeane, but do they speak the bird world equivalent of English over there? Is there a le or la comes out before the tweet tweet.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

Wow, old Oscar's kiss marks have certainly grown since we were there!

Was there a rear entrance at Oscars? Just thought it might be useful if a passing priest wished to investigate.

I read somewhere,not sure where,that the lease on Jim Mojo's grave expires soon and that his remains have to be 'moved on'.
Any info anyone?
