SIR ISAAC NEWT: A Fig For Ishmael’s Hate.
\nby MF.
\nDedicated to Presidents Of The United States Of America<\/p>\n
I
\nO new Hank eighth, I pity thee
\nYe who serveth wives three.
\nOne in Heaven, dead too young,
\nAnother Lovely Lady One.
\nThird a Pope who you helped stuff,
\nBy robbing goat and billary gruff.<\/p>\n
II
\nSo count your cash all you so skimmed
\nThree pouches full, you black sheep you;
\nChucking scepter into lake of fire- son, so swim.<\/p>\n
Swim, swim mariner — lest passing piranhas rip your flesh
\nLook starboard. See Orion’s belt; hides nothing
\nYet vexing, churning: you’re ripe for gulfs to wash.<\/p>\n
Hank Hate, O you moved heaven and earth
\nHave your way you miscreant — for you —
\nA murky mire, lake of fire, craggy barren hearth.<\/p>\n
III
\nSo stuff your pockets lawless one
\nMatthias, Jason’s lizard son.<\/p>\n
Still whore and rob and symonize
\nWhilst our welfare slips past your eyes;<\/p>\n
All the turtlewax in the world,
\nCan never mask the freedom you have furled.<\/p>\n
