Houseman

Taste sanguine rhymes in simple flair,
Indulge blunt wit as rhythm springs;
Notes frame old times in common air,
Truth spreads fine bits as music flings.
Obtain sure flow as senses sway,
Feel fancy free the poignant lines.
Hurl then verse show in words that play,
Once again see moments divine;
Use brew of malt to fund delight,
Sip liquor gulps that greet frolic;
Entice old salt to sense new sights,
Move truth not grub in bold antics;
Appoint your way to happy cause,
Note sad dismay that stays the course.
