Get up and bar the door!

IT fell about the Martinmas time,
And a gay time it was then,
When our good wife got puddings to make,
And she’s boild them in the pan.
The wind so cold blew south and north,
And blew into the floor;
Said our goodman to our goodwife,
“Get up and bar the door.”
“My hand is in my pocket deep,
Goodman, as ye may see;
An it shoud nae be barrd this hundred years,
It’s no be barred by me.”
They made a pact between them two,
They made it firm and sure,
That the first word who e'er should speak,
Shoud rise and bar the door.
Then by there came two gentlemen,
At twelve o’clock at night,
And they could neither see house nor hall,
Nor coal nor candle-light.
“Now whether is this a rich man’s house,
Or whether is it a poor?”
But ne'er a word  one of them speak,
For barring of the door.
And first they ate the white puddings,
And then they ate the black;
And very angry the goodwife to herself,
Yet ne'er a word she spake.
Then said the one unto the other,
“Here, man, take ye my knife;
Do you talk off the old man’s beard,
And I’ll kiss the goodman's wife.”
“But there’s no water in the house,
And what shall we do then?”
“What ails thee we use the pudding-broth,
That boils into the pan?”
O up then started our goodman,
An angry man was he:
“Will ye kiss my wife before my eye,
And scald me with pudding-broth?”
Then up and started our goodwife,
Gave three skips on the floor:
“Goodman, you’ve spoken the foremost word,
Get up and bar the door.” The moral lesson of the story is to not worry or argue about the small stuff, the insignificant details, because while you're doing that is when the problems come along that you should be worried about and take you by surprise. Barring the door is equivalent to locking the door in modern times. The chilly wind can enter the room if the door is not closed, the door represents protection. Like any one in real life, the good man wants to be protected by outside evils. The End!!  My 5th post! :D .
