Sonnets to a Red-Haired Lady - Part 17
D ANTE for Beatrice sang his solemn story,
Dan for Beersheba all his poems wrote,
Alpha in fair Omega's praises smote
The lyre, and Petrarch jollied little Laurie ...
Suzanne, I'll make you famous, too, b'gorry!
Like other Well-Known Couples of great note,
Your earnest, honest and industrious Pote
Will cover both himself and you with glory!
Alas! my frail Wife Number Seventeen ...
In memory still I see her dandruff fall!
" I loved you once, " I told her, " O, my queen!
That was before you snowed so over all
The house ... now, Human Blizzard, blow away!
She blew. Her memory lingers ... Welladay!
