...? I mean, I was aware a week ago that this was a freighted opportunity, but was too inclined to swoon instead.
(sonnet #MMMMMMMDCCCXVI)
So we made eggnog after dinner, whence
The kitchen warmly lit and to avail
Alive with jests, loud laughter, and to scale
Keen conversation, should have kept good sense
Upon its honour--but alas! What thence?
I was too busy swooning in betrayl
To give but half an ear to aught, and frail
As aught excuse for crushes, wandered hence.
O let us laugh, if only that could cure
The folly from these vistas was it? To
A fault those priceless minutes gone as twere--
Yes, eggnog long gone too, what have I? Who
Can measure all we throw away in poor
'Scuse for our cherished lies? And how few knew?
