Once more boldly to the fray , should I take it serious I lived to fight another day , though at times delirious A task some others I've heard say , they have found most ominous Their words of caution hold no sway , with fools I am synonymous To be successful at this task , one must have the impetus For that and talent I do ask , may spirit deliver us Hidden 'neath this confident mask , I've doubts enough for all of us I'll pour some courage from this flask , small nothing too serious A bit of wit quite smartly so , should provide the impetus 'Til with heady power juices flow, loquatious not delirious Masterful talents I will show , with the best I'll be synonymous With new inspired bravado , the results but can be ominous I've yet to see that which I seek, now this could be ominous Another sip from vessel sleek , this one should be calming us Words of wisdom I must speak , great insights viewed synonymous To falter is only for the weak , concentration's taken serious I am my own master I know these things , think me not delirious Flush with talent spirit brings , it lends to me it's impetus The words spout forth with truthful ring , of greatly spirited impetus With sage advice Dionysius sings , his words my voice makes ominous " Beware the curse of curs and kings" me thinks him quite delirious Others words now have no sting ,my concern is but for one of us Glass raised to lips with frequent sips , I set to business serious Damn Dionysius' dullards quips, with Hieronymus I'm synonymous ! More cup than quill with-in my grip , what I think synonymous Mirrors skill begun to slip , fueled by spirit's impetus Begun as folly simple sport , to this fool now is serious Dionysius' cruel retort , words common thus not ominous In crossed lines they do cavort , meanings oft' eluding us Perhaps another little snort , deluded not delirious Last cup drained pen restrained , by laughter most delirious Nothing ventured nothing gained ,Ignoronimus synonymous Addle-pated paper stained , by spirit spilt in front of us Eyes un-focused on table trained , to defy our floor bound impetus It is done fait accompli , more than one most ominous What will be has coursed through me , who cannnot see what's serious Deliriously I will dream , of having had the impetus And having thus done this to us , insidiously serious I hail to Dionysius , synonymous with ominous [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (edited 10-28-1999).] |
