My Swan Song

Has the Golden Girl sung her final song? As the mute swan was said to have all along The mute swan never sings or sounds even as a tucket* Except apparently when it finally kicks the bucket Am I Cassandra, who has sung her final lament Is this what some are waiting for so they needn't comment Socrates said that Swans sing in there young life But never as beautiful as in their dying strife… In actual fact mute swans aren’t t mute, they hiss I think all this time someone’s taken the *iss Pliny the elder, shows the dying swan singing is a myth So we ought to take notice of this now and forthwith So for my Swan song, my last melodious attempt To sing and delight please don’t treat with contempt. My Swan song is here just before I lie down and die But just like the mute Swan singing, this is also a lie. © 9/11/2012 ~GG~ *tucket a bugle call
