The CRhymes of James Tully ; Sullied
-------------------------------------------------


Subliminal
And criminal
One James Tully has claimed
That Charlotte Bront? was a killer of kindred
This is his thriller's thread


He knew inside
Thus threw aside
Conceptions writ(') like lore
He's sure to pocket packets
Martha - a martyr
Arthur - the Tartar blamed


Still he's sourced more rev'rence than the institutions
do
So don't knock it - THEIR's is the butchery - imadjinnation they slew






My living death
Beats any (w)"rest"
All of the rest can keep
Their sentimental slumbers
Are sedimental, numbers too numb to sleep


Weep not for your mortality
Banality is worse
And who is really worth the handful of earth
You distractedly disperse ?


Just a little dust can urn for an eternity
The fraternity of fatality
Embrace it eagerly
