And here it is:

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public

Stop All the Clocks by W.H. Auden
Why do you title questions using your name?
BTW, the title box is for the title of your question, not your screen-name. Have a look around at some other questions...
Why do you need to know so many things today so urgently?
Question Author
this is me l am totally hyper needing things right away it just so happened tonight was an exception but thanks for answering
Question Author
l always get mixed up at this what getting to know what things mean ie what does btw mean thanks for replying.,
'by the way'
Mark - wouldn't it have been just as easy to answer the question? It is her thread after all..
Superfluous, MR - you've already answered.
I did answer her question - see the first reply in the thread...
Yes but there is no need to post that google thingy just because she doesn't know what BTW means.

It's very tedious Mark...
ummmm, with you on this one.... nice ears, btw.
Sitting at home all alone listening to Sanctuary Rig albums will make you a little tedious, after time.
And here it is:

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public
doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
That's my Dad...
A good 'un, ummmm.

thank you so very very much you have saved me from having to find it and write it all down it is such a wonderful poem or whatever it is called l think l must have started some debate about me not knowing what certain things mean like btw., l am a learner when it comes to the computer my daughter's got me started by showing me how to connect to the www. got me my own e.mail address and after a couple of lesson's left me to it, now even though my son says it causes him pain to watch me use it and watch me go round the houses trying to get on a certain site takes me minutes he can press one key and it's there but you know what who cares , who cares how long it takes me and l may seem a bit silly , l am nearly 58 and loving it all gonna carry on making mistakes and doing my own thing l was a child of the universe ha mad old cow more like happy christmas to all , had to much eggnog ha .
Kudos to you Sengas! With time and practice you'll find using the computer becoming easier and easier...

Take your time, and ask questions if you don't know. Most on here are quite understanding and helpful. Have a merry Christmas and happy New Year.
