(Verlaine)
The Bastard's Tale
A classic piece of literature,
If I ever heard one
Part 1:
A wicked, bitter pretence,
Stumbling round,
No doubt,
Blase
Righteous
Remember now the year's
1412, or something
As I searched amongst them
For a valuable gold piece
Not really,
No, not really
The Bastard's Tale,
Part 2:
Now remember,
The year is 1714,
And we're enjoying our new inventions,
Whatever those were
Such is The Bastard's life,
Without apology,
A cursed, pathetic boredom
Altered by death alone
Death, a giant test,
Transpired
July 30th 1914
You should have seen us then,
Coupled as we were,
A feverish embrace
Wow
