Lord Byron Gave Mary Her Shelly (Ode) by horus8
Did Lord Byron give you your faith -
- In monsters resolute to ringing their wraith?
Did he screw your step sister tasteless
While summoning cruciformed purists.
Did his poetry bring you to listen
To the hip sway of some panting vixen
Sending your lover mad to the basement
To dwell on horned ghastly ooze rent.
He made his guests wager their souls
As a game, but was it learned behavior?
To the weak minds sold & betrayed
Sacrificed to the unholiest savior.
Byron, and guests, summoned a sprig fiend,
and pretended the storm was well planned
And when one and all moved on to preen
He let loose with secret words banned.
Mary, an educated lay to be
Thought the Lord queer to only read
Books that were ancient and taboo
While the others merrily shared in the deed.
A curse, that from that night swayed
From one to all before dawn
And like the good book fervently said,
"The will of God's never wrong."
After that night, they were all short lived
Lovers, writers, and even the Lord
Evil can go hardly-soft to semi-liquid
When windows are too clear for nailed board.
Women need babies to be filled with life
Whether by will, or the shortest straw
But Mary made demons before a wife
Her need was of faith, soon to be law.
If you make life in jars, or by love's reciting
Beware of what morning may bring
A creature rebuilt is always worth writing
Bound to your flight, a draft under-wing.
Some have a loose pen-stock
And the hired help to ignore
Your sanity's neck noosed clock
And shocked monsters folk-lored.
My Mary lost all of her heirs
When property couldn't make peace
Compared to the villager's stares
at the mind behind pride's sutured lease.
