Soliloquy

Tragedy masks illustration by Beth 'TOAD' Danby

Tis not methinks after all

‘The winter of our discontent’

Tis merely the autumn:

Of our recourse?

Aye verily;

Of anticipation?

Nay, never the fall

Whilst such beauty still, abounds us.

 

Therefore

We must be of good cheer

Gather up our dreams

Darn our socks and other things

And, be us prepared

Yet

Not too prepossessed.

Be us merely as ever my friend

The eternal pragmatist.

 

Thus with high head and God sped

The Motley, the Trouper, the SHOW

Goes on!
