Peyote Don Quixote An old knight rides an old horse. He toasts a wine of mushroom sauce And wears a favor in his hat That makes him smile a Cheshire cat. His spirits wields a youthful shield. That fights corruption every field He charges giants head to head With lance and sauce till they are fled He sits his saddle skin and bone Leather face and muscles of stone His visions full of flailing arms Tall structures standing fields and farms Time has tolled his hair away and His hands are sinews of dismay Dragons cannot stand his dree, this Knight of glory Don Quixote Excuse his trampling of the grass He cannot let corruption pass Enemies stand every tree and He will not let them stand or be. He’s a rune of a gallant way With a boon that exists today [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (edited 10-06-2001).] |

One of my favorite characters, Don Quijote De La Mancha, noble indeed. Great poem. |

Thank you Walker. Nan, I remember that Cheshire cat. Thank you love. JM, No wonder you couldn't find it, I spelled it wrong. Peyote: a stimulant drug derived from mescal buttons, grasshopper. That's one thing I can teach you, is bad spelling. Winkiewinkie Love Sy |

That's a classic title, Sy. This poem made me a Cheshire of my own. -MVS "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |

WOW. Those little buttons sure inspired you. And the replies are unbelievable. Where in the world...and HOW in the world do you guys get all these smiley cats and fanciful gifs to jump out on these pages???? "Excuse his trampling of the grass He cannot let corruption pass Enemies stand every tree and He will not let them stand or be" Way to go Quixote...we need an army of you out there now.

Lovely story you spin. I enjoyed it from start to finish. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
