There is a brighter ether than this blue
Pretence of an enveloping heavenly vault,
Royaler investiture than this massed assault
Of emerald rapture pearled with tears of dew.
Immortal spaces of cerulean hue
Are in our reach and fields without this fault
Of drab brown earth and streams that never halt

If I would be a cupbearer free
I'd heed my mentor for all to see.
I would not impose on his reverie
But i would know his family
And charm them through fate's jamboree
That dealt them favoured rights very
Nigh the standing famed story
Who boasts that I serve only he.
And so retain my dignity
And model common decency,
I spy my speck of liberty
At heart that I have left of me.

Stir in cauldron laced with ale
Until they've roiled up a stiffening gale,
Add a dash of generous spice,
Serve as a course with angel mud rice..

I watch way to much tv, I regularly tell myself not to start watching some new series cause I seem to get addictive to brainless fun... I'm gonna bring a good book with me, I haven't read midsummer night's dream this year so it might be time for that...
I can't wait for my summer vacation only 6 workdays ...
