   The Rubiayat! Some of the best poetry ever written! Here’s the next verse Phil should recite to Fritzi:

   *

   Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
   The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
   The Bird of Time has but a little way
   To flutter—and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing!

   The word Phil wants is actually “paraphrase.”
   .
   From: “The Concise Oxford Dictionary”
   .
   paraphrase n & v
   n. a free rendering or rewording of a passsage.
   v. tr. express the meaning of (a passage) in other words.

   Is Phil wearing an earring? On his RIGHT ear? Fritzi better think twice.

   Then there was the time Khayyam painted his new boat deep red. This was the first Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam!
