…ashortpoem
Let speak thy beastie’s steady rhymeDrum bark a rouse for slumber’s a crime
Stout of arm unleash thy will,without thy pulse their feet be still
Let fly thy cudgel, be not discreet,may all four quarters march to thy beat
Be it seventy or one sixteen,be sure the dead know what you mean
Thankyouall foryourinspiration!
