Ancient journals ... scrolls and tomes
drifting back thru dusty pages
resting since time forgotten

First in sight ... The inchoate
"Book of Me"
standing incomplete ... spread-eagled
to my last attempt and failure
at light hearted foolery
A little chicanery ... it wouldn't even fool me

Next to it ...

The "Minstrel's Black Book of Alchemy"

Oh, what the heck
I could use a potent elixir
a little inspirit, so to speak
might even put lead in my pencil

Lets see ... page 149

hmmm
Essence of H -2- O

This looks interesting

Bring to boil
blend with 2 packets from red box
top shelf

A strange but vaguely familiar aroma !

Two sips of the aoristic liquid
convinced me ...
Need to spend the ullage for a more potent spirit

Tasted like friggin tea!

Now, where'd I set my Guinness?
