Senora is it true the Greeks are dead: It is true also that we here are Americans; That we use the machines: that a sight of the god is unusual: That more people have more thoughts: that there are Progress and science and tractors and revolutions and Marx and the wars more antiseptic and murderous And music in every home. Well fed, the earth is one He that goes naked goes farther at last than another, Wrap the bard in a flag or a school and they'll jimmy this Door down and be thick in his bed... for a month.

The last stanza is sheer brillance. The rest is sadly tainted by the grammartical fart at the end of L3 S2. Rework that and you'll have 10s up to your _____ (insert body part here) I'd say boobies but i'm not quite sure how tall you are. So I'll say pelvic mound.

Well now, I shall put it here. Considering Mr. Elliot, a Misery boy if there ever was one, wrote a plethora of obscure material, none of which , racist and all, made it to the London and New York stage, why would you choose one of the most well known ditties in his arsenal? And why compare yourself to the now deceased God's Wife who, due to yet another monthly bloodletting, has packed her poems and pulled an Amelia on us all. So you tell me who is the Gwen and who is the poet, besides neither in this case.
