Hugo's Meditation Upon the Shears
(I believe he's working on some words to accompany this, as I heard him muttering something or other about berries, blades, and not-so-mellow fruitfulness earlier...

Oh, shut up. You're just jealous because the ivy's getting the better of you, and you don't have the limbs to cope with it!
