SHADRACH O ' LEARY

O ' Leary was a poet for a while:

He sang of many ladies frail and fair,

The rolling glory of their golden hair,

And emperors extinguished with a smile.

They foiled his years with many an ancient wile,

And if they limped, O ' Leary didn ' t care:

He turned them loose and had them everywhere,

Undoing saints and senates with their guile.
