An Ode To Louis
As I sit here on this bench
Oh I wish I wish I was French
He has a certain flair
He posts without a care
He could be the smartest man in the room
But then again he could be holding the broom
Such an asset to the forum
Lest we fall into the doldrum
Sitting there in gay Pariee
Probably reading, under a tree
So mon cher live your life
then settle down and take a wife (an a mistress)

There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Still stuck in the cold wintery north
Of all that snow I'm really rather bored
How I long for the warmth of Texas
instead of another icy Xmas

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

So much coffee wasted I fully aplaud a standing ovation
Re: An Ode To Louis
An ODE? Of fewer lines than a sonnet? With mixed meter and limping scansion? For shame.....
Anyway, here's a sonnet.
The Jester and Le Cowboy
His words, sharper still than any epee
Witty, yet also gentle and gentile
Laugh author, yet only slightly outre
His jests piquant, but at his core tranquil
Our cher Louis, in two tongues may play
Champion of "King's" and L'Academie
Our cher Louis, "all in jest" some may say
But wit's the tool of Le Bard de Paris
Yet stranger still the connection -- la chaine
Entre Louis and Strike -- two now one pair?
Knitting the Rio Brazos with La Seine
Entre Texas and France -- that's just not fair!
Never and always, jamais et toujours
We're stuck with them both, so en garde et encore!

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken
