<Now we have to buy a filter. Ogden Nash >

Filter? We need one because we have need to feed the Press?
:D

Knew there used to be a poetry thread somewhere on SI. This was the only one I could find. I hope the others who have posted their own poetry are not angry because we posted poems by other poets.

It's Saturday night. How about a song?

The Song

BALTHASAR

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no moe,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leafy:
Then sigh not so, &c.

Much Ado About Nothing, Act 2, Scene 3, by William Shakespeare
