In Memoriam

[just mercedes]

I am a bit confused as to who is lame in Eden "I will never dance with Byron, lame in glorious Eden"

Wasn't he lame all the time -club foot - or what have you. His pointed remarks still killed a few Greeks.

I like to think he was in glorious Eden all the time as well, and not just while his pen built Childe Harold.

Many thanks, all.  I was feeling a bit sorry for myself this morning so I thought I'd throw something out there.

Awwww Leanne - here's my Byron tribute, to cheer you up. I read this at an open mic session in Chicago.

I don’t believe Byron                                               
 
 
I don’t believe Byron
ate porridge for breakfast;
pancakes - maybe
poached eggs like young girls’ breasts
or peaches.
 
He wouldn’t puddle
in mucilaginous sludge
for the sake of his bowels
and slow glycemic uptake
would he?
 
I believe Byron
wore women’s underwear,
painted the nails red
on his club foot.
