Show Me the Place

SHOW ME THE PLACE

“Show me the place.”

Duke Senior in As You Like It (2.1)

In the Beginning …

And, yes, it’s time—yes, once again

It’s time: A voyage to begin.

We’ve finished off those eponyms.

Let’s hope that this one also brims

With information—and some fun.

I’ll try to do it—every one.

And so I’ll take you to those sites

Where I will show some bright highlights

That I have loved—the homes, the schools,

The holidays (where only fools

Would go in search of dreariness).

I’ll try to wake your weariness

With stories old, with stories new,

And by the time that we are through,

Perhaps you’ll know both head and tail

Of my life’s creature. So ... we sail!
