Tutorial In Dreamland

I landed in an online dreamland with two more. You know these fictitious men with surreal fame; One dreamt of hunting a big phantasy fish for... And the other went on tossing a sky-high claim. The first one plunges in a heroic battle: Hair rising, stirring, Hector – Achilles duel; Latter teases his love with an airy prattle, Claiming queen should adore him: a pricy jewel. We three had a corvid caused zoom tutorial. I was amazed how our renowned tutor did spew His self-quest and warned with a voice authorial To search within … if we wish to find any cue, For first he sought a crook outside, suspecting all, But dived later in and found in him, nasty stench. So he asked Lowman, me and Old Man not to brawl, Yet to gallop straight inside and our quest to quench. Thus, we had a fun time tutorial, therein, And had a heavy load of worth more words to take, But I saw Old Man go home with a monstrous fin And Lowman go low as a “phony little fake”.
