On Lord Byron

On Lord Byron


Far away from thistle and thorn
a genius and great poet was born
Lord Byron was his great name
making love with words his game

The world had him not very long
his verses danced like a song
Women swoon at his written charms
those chosen loved in his arms

He was born to many a woman bed
excesses raced in his wild head
Often crazy and without any cares
he juggled many hot love affairs 

Fate lusted to grab him too soon
as he shown like the August moon
Sadness invaded his hectic life
in dying, he left his poor wife

Far away from thistle and thorn
a genius and great poet was born
Lord Byron was his great name
making love with words his game
