Lorick: Riddles and Lore

Lorick #143:

I'm ecstatic, I'm manic, a child

I make love into music -- I'm wild!

I'm not too discreet

and have devilish feet

with libido and fear, I beguile!

But first, we solve #144 - here it is one last time:

A prince who goes under the weather

an enabling hag who knows better

an incomparable voice

and an imprudent choice

leads nowhere... he just doesn't get her

Does Lorick #143 bedevil you? Read it... and weep!

Yorick's weekend thoughts and the solution to Lorick #141:

an icarian tale: picaresque!

whose satire is dark, kafkaesque

there's a familiar who's jumpy,

and a father who's grumpy,

and an ass of a child... it's grotesque!
