Dear George
I, too, look forward to seeing you on Monday next, 16th June, James Joyce Day. Tune the piano, and if there wasn't one around, let them bring one, for I am going to sing James Joyce's favourite song which he sang when once at a party his turn came to sing a song, and that was on 14th June 1904, two days prior to that memorable day, "Ulysses" day, 16th June 1904, when he met Nora Barnacle. The song was originally one of King Henry VIII's favourites, and legend has it that it was King Henry himself who composed it. Anyway, whether composed and/or sang by King Henry, the song opens like this:
Pastime with good companee
I love and shall until I dee
Sincerely
Siddeek
PS Let 'em keep the soda bottles cool till better bottles arrive
