There is gum in this napkin Poseidon sent Delphin To fetch him a Sea Nymph With whom he had children There was no arranged marriage No blue borrowed baggage Just a soul set to sea Locked fast in the steerage A put-upon child Chased by malady A Mausoleum door Opened just for the rabbitry The epitaph read: He missed his mother. A lamb to the slaughter. There was no one’s daughter. If you pass by, then throw in some carrots for the angels have eyes. It fell at long last, Carried in by a straggler A burial shroud for the body Outlining his master
