Gypsy Vans by Rudyard Kipling

Gypsy Vans

Unless you come of the gipsy stock
That steals by night and day,
Lock your heart with a double lock
And throw the key away.
Bury it under the blackest stone
Beneath your father's hearth,
And keep your eyes on your lawful own
And your feet to the proper path.
Then you can stand at your door and mock
When the gipsy vans come through...
For it isn't right that the Gorgio stock
Should live as the Romany do.
Unless you come of the gipsy blood
That takes and never spares,
Bide content with your given good
And follow your own affairs.
Plough and harrow and roll your land,
And sow what ought to be sowed;
But never let loose your heart from your hand,
Nor flitter it down the road!
Then you can thrive on your boughten food
As the gipsy vans come through...
For it isn't nature the Gorgio blood
Should love as the Romany do.
Unless you carry the gipsy eyes
That see but seldom weep,
Keep your head from the naked skies
Or the stars'll trouble your sleep.
Watch your moon through your window-pane
And take what weather she brews;
But don't run out in the midnight rain
Nor home in the morning dews.
Then you can buddle and shut your eyes
As the gipsy vans come through...
For it isn't fitting the Gorgio ryes
Should walk as the Romany do.
Unless you come of the gipsy race
That counts all time the same,
Be you careful of Time and Place
And Judgment and Good Name:
Lose your life for to live your life
The way that you ought to do;
And when you are finished, your God and your wife
And the Gipsies'll laugh at you!
Then you can rot in your burying place
As the gipsy vans come through...
For it isn't reason the Gorgio race
Should die as the Romany do.

Rudyard Kipling

I Am A Storyteller

Once Upon A Time -- One of my great loves is storytelling. We have traced our family through Scotland, Ireland, to the Appalachian Mountains and with 6 generations still living, there are no lack of tales to be told. I weave the tales of history, family, fables, and my own thoughts to make an exceptional storytelling event.

Types of stories:
Battles of Scotland
Ancient Irish History
Appalachian Mountains
Historical Family
Recent Family
Bible Women -- One-Woman-Interpretation
Ghost Walks Ghost Stories
Sittin-Up-With-The-Dead
Audience Participation Stories

Other Types of Speeches:
Brain Injury -- I also speak on the affects of brain injury and have spoken at the Virginia General Assembly Budget Hearing, the Newport News City Council, Age and Abilities Expo, East Virginia Medical School and many other events.

Mentorship -- the importance and how to set up a mentor-ship program. I have been a mentor in Toastmasters for years and in other situations in the workplace.

Mental Flexibility -- How to change the way you react and think about what goes on around you.

I am from Krypton, Kentucky. No, it isn't where Superman is from, but there are a lot of super people who live there. Krypton is a short side trip between Hazard and Buckhorn in the Southeastern mountains of Kentucky. Coal mining is the main industry here.

I travel all over the East Coast telling my tales. For information on available dates and price, please contact me at janetinva@beloved-creations.com

I have been a member of Toastmasters International since 2000. I have given over 50 speeches within Toastmasters, over 100 outside of Toastmasters. On July first I will be the Immediate Past President of the Oyster Point Speakers Club and the Area Governor of Area 12 in Virginia. Toastmasters is a public speaking and leadership club. http://toastmasters.org/
