Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Gluttony of Love


"If music be the food of love,"

"Play on," William Shakespeare did say,

An opening line  speaking of

Yearn in "Twelfth Night," his comic play.

It's a young duke in dialogue 

Telling musicians to play on,

In hopes he'll sicken as a hog

From gluttony phenomenon.

And then he'll lose his appetite

For loving a young woman who

Does not regard him with delight.

The young duke is feeling quite blue.


The young duke's love continued fed,

He and his lady became wed.
