Homage To The Poets


There once was a poet from France
who cut off his ear for romance.

There once was a poet from Spain
whose fortune it was to be slain.

There once was a poet from Rome
who made heaven and hell his home.

There once was a poet from Greece
whose heroine had beautiful knees.

There once was a poet from Moscow
whose ten thousand fans went WOW!

There once was a poet from Peru
who starved to death dans la rue.

There once was a poet from Sicily
whose name was lost to antiquity.
