In the ambience of blurred light,

For Some Whisky He Went Frisky

...From him you can snatch a fable:
Just place whisky on his table;
He could stories quicken their pace,
In the hearer’s hearts create space
Wherever he stops Audience wait,

Awakens another giant
The removal of a door

The pain but a looking glass,
