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.
