In their decay
While others stay
But a short time.
Birdsong does not last.
And poets must rhyme
Of empires that pass
And fast climate change.

And her talk it killed a bull!
Lou’s Poem
When a young lady whose name is Lou
Said, “I shall write a poem about you!”,

And so extremely lude,
That I hear you are going to sue!
