'Inn make believe castle.'

On a knight's errant Suit of rusting armor A flea bitten horse Man of La Mancha. Farm girl lady love Basin an iconic helmet Sets out early morn Inn make believe castle. Dubbed a fictious knight Does battle with muleteers Remove armor for trough Lead horses to water. Quixote frees treed boy Wages earned - not paid Home sweet home - escapes Book on chivalry burned. Famous adventure now begins Is now chasing windmills Ferocious giants fo fum A theme of deception. Butted with practical jokes Sancho deceives - one point Trapped into finding Dulcinea Throw in peasant girls. La Mancha man spelled Can't see forest truth Conclusion - Don is melancholy Lived happily ever after. '2008' RLS

This quick spin through Cervantes leaves one breathless, as though the windmill had tilted back. Very enjoyable journey.

Hello Robert,

Fascinating and timely. Seems all of us now are "chasing windmills" with our quixotic ideals ..."wages earned -not paid...can't see forest truth..."
