Was this the face that lunched on thousand chips,
And burned the topless vowers of Helium?
Sweet Helen, make me immoral with a kiss! -
Her lips suck forth my Saul; see where he flees!-
Come, Helen, give me my Saul again
Here will I dwell for heaven, in these lips,
And all is dross that begot Helena.

MidniteSun, Turtle,

Thanks for reading. A little exercise I found in a book called "Practice of Poetry": trying to inflict maximum damage to a line with the slightest stroke. Quite fun, really

Well, I must get ready for work: Rouble, rouble, toil and trouble.

LOL.

Too bad he died in a bar room brawl of sorts.
Although there are rumours that his death was a fake and he may have moved to Italy where he kept writing under a different name.......LOL! But how can we be sure.
Hard to say how far he might have gone.

Great take off Marc.
