My Measure

Bring me not the humdrum,

Just bring good things to me.

Fine wine, and cheeses

And books of poetry.

Let me debate a philosopher,

Let him steel my mind.

Then, we could quaff good ale

And drink till we were blind.

Just for a little while,

Give me naught but pleasure.

Then when it's back to the grind,

I'll feel I've had my measure.

Heidi Sands Date: 8/12/2017 3:42:00 PM That sounds like a nice fun break Gary! Although I don't drink wine (only wine coolers sometimes) I do love the cheese...lol. :) Login to Reply Gary Smith Date: 8/12/2017 4:23:00 PM I don't mind the odd glass of red Heidi, lol :)
