The Alive Poets’ Society

In homage to Robin Williams

 Cap, Cap! O Captain! My Captain! Carpe diemmm… Welcome to: The Alive Poets’ Society

 

 I have run my eyes over miles of pages - I have worn the smiles of all the sages

 I’ve worn the madcaps and the innocent gowns - I’ve eaten up all the bookworms

 I’ve sucked all the inklings out of the inkwells - Before the ringing of farewells

 Just to drive you with this unforgettable line

 

 Cap, Cap! O Captain! My Captain! Carpe diemmm… Welcome to: The Alive Poets’ Society

 

 Dividing line between sanity and madness

 Certain pages, I should’ve torn out much earlier

 Certain days, I should’ve stood on my desk much sooner

 I’ve sworn to be fairer and squarer with myself

 

 Cap, Cap! O Captain! My Captain! Carpe diemmm… Welcome to: The Alive Poets’ Society

 

 Schooling might well mould the size of my money-bag

 Self-education will ward me off, having to beg for

 The good fortune of fortitude flows naturally in me

 A few Latin sets of four syllables are more than plenty

 To make me wise, cap in left hand, right hand on my heart

Alter ego, mea culpa, bona fide, magnum opus, carpe diem

 

 Cap, Cap! O Captain! My Captain! Carpe diemmm… Welcome to: The Alive Poets’ Society

 

I have run my eyes over miles of pages - I have worn the smiles of all the sages

 I’ve worn the madcaps and the innocent gowns - I’ve eaten up all the bookworms

 I’ve sucked all the inklings out of the inkwells - Before the ringing of farewells

 Just to drive you with this unforgettable line

 

 Cap, Cap! O Captain! My Captain! Carpe diemmm…
