Begone,Dull Care

Sententiousness I seriously cannot bear I cannot abide po-faced pontification Faced with which I want to pull out my hair Being more at home in a festive occasion. Flee the pessimism of the puritan's pulpit There is more merriment found in carpe diem When Falstaffian rogues with us carousing sit. Send cold gravity to its chilling requiem If you were given the news your end were nigh No Cromwell roundhead,more cavalier Dartagnan What better way to go,do you think,,laugh or cry? Give me every day a mirthful companion. So haste ye away,you gloomy prophets of doom And allow us imbibe in a jovial room
