Commitment To Shakespeare
Written as a tribute to a popular song ... can you guess which one?
When wak’st from slumber shall I be
Fain present to lay next to thee
and whither shall my sojourn be
methinks that thou would’st walk with me
much ale beset me to the ground
laid next to thee shall I be found
if all’st my parley bawdy be
I warrant, it shall be with thee
Forsooth five hundred miles afield
Travail - and then five hundred more
Traverse a thousand miles, in truth
To haply lay athwart thy door.
A reworking of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by the Proclaimers
