LOC TANSER, by JOHN RUSSELL MCCARTHY First Line: Blackened teeth, crooked knees Last Line: Loc tanser will supply the glory. | ||||||||
Blackened teeth, crooked knees -- Loc made happiness of these. "There is so many a glory bed I shall not have to fill," he said. Frowsy wife, with eyes a-blur -- Loc made happiness with her. "She's not tempted from her duty As is the selfish pampered beauty." When the mule kicked, instead of crying, Loc made happiness of dying. "This world was such a pleasant place, There must be glory where I face." And though dust be his endless story, Loc Tanser will supply the glory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIRST ACROSS THE SANDS by JOHN RUSSELL MCCARTHY HILLS by JOHN RUSSELL MCCARTHY MEMORIES by JOHN RUSSELL MCCARTHY SNAKE by JOHN RUSSELL MCCARTHY SPARK OUT OF HEAVEN by JOHN RUSSELL MCCARTHY LOVE IN TWILIGHT by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET MAGDALEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
