The things you look up, now with bonus #haiku

That’s right, who’s got your back on this hot night? Who’s looking up stuff you didn’t even know you didn’t know? That’s right.

The Old One Hundredth
best known psalm and melody
sung to God and Queen.

Old 100th is commonly used to sing (and is named for) the version “All People That on Earth Do Dwell,” made from Psalm 100, which originated in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter (1561) and is attributed to the Scottish clergyman William Kethe.[4] Kethe was in exile at Geneva at this time, as the Scottish Reformation was only just beginning. This version was sung at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, with harmonization and arrangement by the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. The first verse is as follows:[5]

All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.

and what’s more, Sandra Boynton said “This whole hashtag thing seems a little random to me.”. I responded:

are hashtags random?
chosen by one they might be
not so, by a crowd.

but if you have doubts or need more info there’s always this.
