I’m only a human you know!

but if you feel like a-knowing

Then to your bookshelf you go.

Take out a volume of Shakespeare

He was my ancestor too.,

Then if you need a short break, dear,

A sonnet should do it for you.

Take out a clean piece of paper

And your pen and some ink.

Make up a poetic caper,

Then you can have forty winks.

It’s a bit late in the day for a lover

Although I’m still very sweet.

If anyone feels like another

Just send me your name, via Tweet.

Take out a volume of Homer.

Read it instead of the News.

Then if you fall into a coma

We’ shall all be very amused!

Take me into your arms now,

Dance me right round this dear room.

I love you so much I can’t say so

I’ll just fall down here  in a swoon
