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? ~ ![]() |
