Sonnet 6

Raise your glass! and carry on!
Forget the day's problems and smile.
Laugh and love till morning's dawn.
Let us all make it worth our while.
Meet the jester so full of tricks!
Painted faces and fairies play.
Drunken crowd nothing to risk.
The music plays all night and day!
A lady smiles and pours more ale,
Dancer's continue into the night..
A well to do man tell's his heroic tale
We are young with no real fright.
Our private world of renaissance faire,
And for tonight we shall drink and forget to care!
