Insanity is all I request when the urge
to roam comes knocking on my head.
Life wouldn’t be sweet without it,
so why shouldn’t I, a self-proclaimed
Don Quixote, ask for such blessing?
Think how boring existence would
be if sanity was the only option:
there would be no impossible things
to wish for—no pursuit of happiness.
Lady Dulcinea, I shall be by your side
soon, as soon as insanity comes.
So, let Sancho Panza sit on his ass;
I shall sally forth straightway, with my Ford
Bronco as Rozinante, an oil pan as my
helmet, and my weathered pecker as my lance.

Creative, witty and charming write especially for Quixote fans like myself. I loved the reference to familiar characters and items from the classic Cervantes tale. Bien, amigo, muy bien.
