Do Not Go Gentle
Oh father, near death on that height,
curse for me, put up a fight!
...Am I sentimental
...to say don't go gentle
but rage as you face that good night?
**
Beowulf
For most folks just one monster killed
would mean that their quota was filled.
... Not Beowulf! He
... dispatched (count ’em) three,
before his own lifeblood was spilled.
**
Charge of the Light Brigade
Not given to reasoning why,
not choosing to make a reply,
... though someone had blundered
... on rode the six hundred
and did what they did, which was die.
