The Bard Returns from the Future
[Pearce Melville 曾 達]
Your Majesty I offer you glorious gifts
This day I return from future
rifts
Lutes exuding tones so pretty
I named it elektrickery 🚥
Have brought one here for you to see
Though without fuel is not to be
Here O Sire Majestic Master
A brand new [Fender Stratocaster!] 🎸
Playing this with teeth and fiery tricks
A MAD MUSICIAN Jimi Hendrix
Blessed all who came to concert [Woodstock]
Inspired many Patriots to flock 🇺🇸
I bring tales of wonder endless
They ride a horseless cart so wondrous 🚛
Taking flight as birds they soar
I ponder how they do not fall
🛩️
And swimming like fish below the sea 🐟 🐠
I think how do they get their oxygene
Riding a pen they soar to the moon
Such intelligence causes me to swoon 🚀
Diving depths ne'er here seen
Inside a whale A [Submarine]
Gather rare earths from 🐳 🐋 volcanic vents 🌋
With which to make elektrick instruments 📦

How they possess such acumen! 📺
And Robots making things so grand 🤖

Crotchless panties stocking hose 👯♂️👯♀️
Bikinis and a big girl's blouse
I brought a Gstring for you to see 👙
Perhaps adorn it ~ privately? 👯
Still they drink I supped Swan Gold 🍺 🍺
Some things never change I'm told
Prostitutes still hawk their ware
I must admit I ~ visited there 😋
A Book wherin you may find a suitor
It is known as [The Laptop Computer] 💻
I opened it and thought to find her
But all I earned was a Bearded Grinder! 🎅 💩
I felt like chilling that very hour ④ * ②◎
Was pleased to pluck some marjhuana 🌿
We marvelously got along
And smoked a Bubbly Pipe they call a [Bong] Д

And see the Joy awaiting Thee
When You attain Immortality

'This day I return from future
rifts'..
then it just got better and better
your knowledge, range
and depth, is admittedly
intimidating, but
what an illuminating, experience
having a conversation with you
must be..
thanks for sharing, a great read
Thank you
I like popular science
The sequel Bard Heard Songs Quantum Love is compiled from songs he heard during his travel into the future
and is very really long;
When I found this title I had to read, and oh what a read! Wonderfully and intelligently crafted. You take us on an amazing ride through history, with the bard as guide. I can imagine how thrilled Shakespeare would have been to see the future, and what he might have written about it. The more I read the more I loved.
