Pioneer of the Septet was Geoffrey Chaucer!
He is considered the Father of English Literature.
Best known for The Canterbury Tales.
And his epic poem: “Troilus and Cresessida.”
Search'ng dandelions yearns int'rmittently
Hoping with sudden startled jealousy
And snoozing a loudly in ecstacy
Whilst summer sleeps quietly into shine
And morning sings with symphonic splendor
The sunshine closes into purple rays
Reflections dancing across still water
It’s thirteen thousand miles from Boston to
San Diego around far Cape Horn’s way.
Ship needs to sail to that distant quay.
The Cape is a hard challenge for the crew
It’s where the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans meet and the waves are horrific.
The number of ships lost are not a few.
With good sailing San Diego can be
reached in three months from Boston’s fine dock
in hope of returning with rancho stock.
Condition of hides rest upon the sea,
if hold remains ever dry and shipshape,
The wetting of hide they hope to escape.
No fear Brig Pilgrim’s hold is danger free.
Hide house at the Mexican harbor’s berth
cures hides vaqueros bring from distant field
hoping to gain a goodly peso yield.
Their agents bargain for true values worth
Profit will give major-domo much peace
He’ll thank the Virgin for worry’s surcease
At hacienda there will be much mirth.
The running of the bulls in Pamplona
Is part of the San Fermin Festival
What excitement awaits the mayor’s call
To win accolades is “muy bona”
Escaping bull’s piercing horns is daring
Runners like the danger they are sharing
They seek prize, adulations “corona”.
Another fresh new year is near...
Watching tick-tock 'round the clock
One more year coming to an end here
Tick-tock 'round the clock rock
A year of fun! It’s gone! It’s in the rear!
Fill it with cheer sock
To have another joyous new year
Tis' night awe-inspiring
The last day of year
Wishing for the season to bring
A year and a time to cheer
Rushing, to the fore, onward swing
Wait'ng for another bright moon to appear
To welcome in a new year ring-a-ding
My darling
On this moonlit night
Our worlds can combine as one
Whereas we too can become as one
Our hearts therefore beat as drums
Musically, lovely
You and I

To know love and to be loved
