the blade of my wit
can be quite shockingly sharp
as its point is well made always
so then.......
must I admit
to being forced to sink the ship
to put out the fire
colling the flames so to quench such desire
be it we the so humble
who confess to such quaint impediments of
little true matter
veiling small points of minute self flattery
I then present to you
rather
doubt dressed up
a tarnished silver platter
Good God!
I sound like a fly
trying to translate Shakespeare
quick
somebody swat me..............
