A tribute to a comedy
You wear laurel leaves, yet no hint of all
The dinners or Royal Calls,- just you rest
On that peak for a sole ship to see, red
Spot on the far green top, the white sails form
Heaven... and hell,- two lakes of boiling blood
There, a hilltop in Italy, you've just
Written a book knowing full well, in verse,
When words sell to beggars and clergy both
''The super essential light'',- to your knees!
Bonfires in such awe of one Greek's loot
To purge smoke from wood (and one soul from bone)
And nervous midwives light three candlewicks
And by Virgil's steady tracks,- a point, moot
Enlightens us to your farcical tone
