The Greatest Poet Ever in the English-speaking World and His Love Bi/Tri/angle

Transgressive love is always tops, Top in

The lit of Western Woman (and of Man).

Isolt, the wife of Mark, commits love sin

With Tristan (King’s and Uncle’s woman), ban

On treason, ban on her adultery

Regardless.  Arthur, Lancelot and Queen

Are parts of this lust’s, lovers’ cultery

Saintology.  Thus it has ever been.

So what’s the vast surprise if Shakespeare has

It off with Darksome Lady and a lad?

This long-time rhapsody is notes as jazz

George Gershwin made for stage — with rhymes all bad.

  Hot Shakespeare’s book of sonnets was the worst

Phillip Whidden, the sonneteer who has written more sonnets than anyone else anywhere in the history of the world 

    Of sales for him, the lips of buyers pursed.
