  Thanks, Oubliette!

  Really close. What is required is verbs of the same form, in this case either gerunds ["ing"] or infinitives ["to" plus verb].

  "to eat, to drink and to be merry," or "eating, drinking and being merry."

  Best.

  Something called parallel construction (structure); please correct:

  There are three things I really love: to eat, drinking, be merry!

  To clarify the difference between "I" and "me" (he, she, they; him, her, them):

  "I" is used as the subject of a sentence, but "me" the object.

  I gave it to her (not "she").

  He hit me (not "I").

  Between you and me, I prefer white wine. (Some say "between you and I" is so widely used that it has become acceptable.)

  Jerry tossed the ball to Mary (or "her").

  et cetera . . .

  This Tired, Lonely Man

  this tired, lonely man has been snared, but i protest little .

  she holds me tenderly in her tightening but welcome thrall.

  i cave willingly -- oh, so willingly -- to her amatory attentions.
