Poem
A ROMAN TALE By Roy Merritt Caesar had seizures but Brutus cut him no slack And though he claimed he was his friend He stabbed him in the back He'd taken over the Senate And they thought he was a jerk But Brutus himself seldom showed up for work And soon Augustus and all of his crew Knew for certain what they should do And Brutus knowing there was a reward He did what he must and fell on his sword Auggie and Antony had become allies Though both secretly Caesar despised They just wanted the crown they each did conspire To wear the laurel to lead the Empire Augustus took the west and Antony went east And soon with that woman in Egypt he'd feast She tempted him with her sweet delight She herself had Rome in her sight And Antony you know his wife he dismissed Forgetting that dame was Auggie's sis A foolish thing for a man to do He bit off more than he could chew And mounting an army he did something dumb And Auggie crushed him at Actium Back in Egypt Antony did flee Hoping once more that woman to see Knowing now he faced but strife Antony too took his own life And Cleo losing him lost her grasp And she herself caressed an asp And now they're celebrated for breaking the rules But if you ask me they were just fools
