B2 - Who Am I?
"Do you know any poetry?" Asked an inquisitive Anteater, who happened to be passing that way.

"Why, yes I do." Said Alice confidently.

"Then recite for me, please."

Alice put her hands behind her back and began.


Shall I compare you with some sad dismay?
Thou art more holy and irreverent:
Rough shaken, drives the darling dreams away,
And sleep's lease is all too irrelevant;
Some glint in every eye of Horus hides,
And God-like he takes his morning latte skimm'd;
And station to station his carriage rides,
Peers at his paper through glasses horn-rimm'd;
But thy eternal slumber shall not fade,
Nor leave possessions unattended out;
Nor counted sheep wander on some escapade,
When eternal railway lines strikeout:
         So long they say, and we're on our way,
         So long because, we're off for the day.

"That was quite splendid, and almost completely inaccurate." Said the Anteater. "You obviously have a way with words, but it is quite a wrong way."
