The marble tomb gapes wide with jangling keys
His exaltation shocked both youth and crone
Forms shadowy with indecision wheeze
One gathers rosebuds or grows old alone
How it suprised us pale grey underlings
The North Wind Bites into his architrave
The learning linguist cameramaniac sings
Victorious worms grind all into the grave
The genealogist with field and fess
With gravity at gravity's great cog
From cool Parnassus down to wild Loch Ness
Bard I adore your endless monologue
With marble souvenirs then fill a slum
They're kings we're mammal-cousins hi ho hum
