4 May 1998 - Death be not sad
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Death, be not sad, though some have called thee
Loutish and headstrong, cuz it isn’t so:
You always keep your stereo turned low,
And take some other guy instead of me.
clue:
I’m spoofing a sonnet by John Donne, Holy Sonnet X.
For reasons beyond mortal comprehension,
the “X” is pronounced “ten” rather than “ex”.
take oh take this clue away
