( a bardic admonition, posted 14 February 2009 )
Hither knave, come nigh unto me,
wrest thine thoughts \'til hearts agree;
heed the lesson pride won\'t teach,
practise what thou fiercely preach.
Turnest thou thine fertile tome:
another leaf, another poem;
steady on \'til light of day,
only purest thoughts will stay.
