a claim to future fame

in an age that is yet unborn
will come some student of the written word
to the words that i have written down
he'll look askance at my little hoard
and scratch his head and cough and frown
then in a voice quite ponderous
great god in heaven what was all the fuss

but that night by the light of a lantern moon
he'll toss and turn in fevered swoon
he'll wake with eyes staring wide
and heartbeat pounding terrified
and cry
my god i am alive

Yes....I wonder if this is the Air Canada pilot that had to be taken away at Shannon airport, I do believe he experienced something along those lines.

Schnee, my poetry is banned on Air Canada flights. But maybe he'd read some before he boarded.
Bianca, none of that 'ould sex talk here. This is a family blog.
