Wish I'd been there to hear it...  Splendid!

>SODAM furls the ode, bows gracefully and glides gracefully from the dais to
>rapturous calls of "Eh?", "Who's that?" "Where's her carer?" etc.

It was reassuring, when I arrived so very late as I did, to find SODAM
still in Her Aspect as Thalia, Muse of Comedy, Playful & Idyllic Poetry,
signalised by her wearing of the ivy wreath about her brow; but I think we
must provide her with the other essential for Thalia, the shepherd's staff,
next year.  Otherwise she might be mistaken for Melpomene, and that would
_never_ do.

"In addition to being a Muse, she is also considered to be one of the
Three Graces. When you look at ancient Greek paintings and sculptures,
she is often depicted holding a comic mask in her left hand and a staff
in her right hand...and seems always to be wearing an ivy crown."

Alas, this leaves no hand free to hold the Scroll.  Perhaps if we can
manage to get Mr Sheep to come to the BBQ, he might carry the shepherd's
staff for her and stand respectfully behind her during the Declamation.  He
could use it to beat back the hordes of admirers trying to kiss the hem of
her robe
