1749 - Feast of Faust

In the year of 1749
Goethe was born, classicist, romantic
Author of Faust, and something that it's time
I read, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship
He was mad about Shakespeare, took a trip
To Italy and Sicily; his log
Of that journey had such a readership
It's satirised in 'Middlemarch' - a book
I have fond memories of. Father's Day took
Me to see Josie, ate Mexican, mine
Was Aztec Jambalaya, hers a thick
Burger I helped her eat! We were in luck
This weekend with the sun, yesterday's fine
Day at Tyldesley Festival, fantastic.
