The Challenge of the Night, 'O Challenge of the night spilt love, thy fruits consumed me whole, You wet my lip, my heart did sip, and bore from this my soul, an aimless spry, dare naught I die, to get, ere this, my goal, yet wraiths fingers, clutched and lingers, from my life why they stole, 'twas this here bottle, caused unsubtle, but it's only Sheol, it's the effect, mimics affect, constructs a pricey toll, varmints festered, losers pestered, Banshees are allowed to troll, let's also talk, and drink and walk, way down the rabbit's hole, (Hm?) seemed awake, mayhaps not late, back up, let's take a stroll, (Ah!) that you miss, but you're amiss, all night, you're on parole, here, I ne'er was, you and your cause, you were just sole on sole, opt for reprieve, lest you deceive, reprise the Chalice role, so sober up, my bitter cup, take a rest up that knoll, beds of clovers, best makeovers, back to life makes the poll, an o'er worked man, loose tie, demand! home fighting on the roll, "Play it again, Sam, entertain! A challenge, my bankroll, into the night, savor delight, now let angels console, while Bacchus fruit, makes repeat mute, Challenge joins a black hole!" 2022 January 20
