Not me Rob. Tricky enough as it is. I expect someone will end up doing it in Latin with every line a palindrome.
Morbidly, I feel the urge to scream
my name, so those around me have no doubt
that I exist and am not but a dream.
My youth is but a haze-clothed quinquereme
emerging through the mists with mocking shout
to taunt me. Now I feel the urge to scream.
Middle-age has floated down the stream,
meandering like some lost gadabout
to half-exist in someone else’s dream.
My sense of smell is growing more extreme –
every time I twitch this ugly snout,
the stench of death provokes the urge to scream.
Mutiny! Swashbuckling hopes now seem
mere droplets from a broken waterspout.
Trapped, this corpse still feels the urge to scream
my rage that I am now too old to dream.
