Sonnetina Cinque (A Gift to the Friday Crew)

'If moments could be collected 

In bottles and containers of

Different shapes and size 

And floated gallantly a'tide

A bottle placed by us would capsize:'

We jovial three, whose joys so loose

Preserve an unrestrained flight 

'Pon the dull bank's side 

Of the exigencies of life 

Toward a sweet Sabbath's rest and bride.
