dennis scharnberg

A room is filled with smoke and cries

I never descended to despise

A better plan could not devise

Tired so soon of all the lies

A prince displayed outrageous ties

We shall see how much that buys

Showing fool in so many eyes

A face now coated with lemon pies

Inscrutable (tasty) new disguise….

Patrick Malmsey, Manifest Toe. (from Book IV)
