My “Epitaph”
Pause here who’d pass me by, pause here, my friend,
That last my words forbade, last find their end.
Too many hours alone I gave the Muse,
Too many days I've lost to phrase I'd use.
My poet’s brain was crossly wired wrong,
To rather write than sing my lover’s song,
To claim in words that wanton sex imply,
Than find a wanton girl who'd with me lie.
So keep them all, I'll wordless wander home,
That I may write in her my heaven’s po’m.

It took me several reads
Once I had rest
Until it came to me
Your little jest,
Why you were so perplexed
That first I wept.
But now upon reflect
This read afresh,
The humor that I hear
I love the best.

Yes!
I hope that S.T.C. where e're he be,
Is rolling in his grave with wanton glee!
