Plight of the Wight
Never again to know fresh air, Combing worms from my matted hair. No one remains who’d ever care — Tied to my grave, this lonesome baire. I must escape the sun’s harsh glare, Tread carefully down crumbling stair, Descend into my crypt just there, Where I sit alone in dark despair. Upon my ancient worm-eaten chair, Inside my vaulted charnel house lair, Such a sad...

The long flowing white mane Reminiscent of a satin bridal train Fierce blue eyes Watching the plain, a pantherine spy The king of beasts The felidae feasts Daniel's cell mate Still the beauty of that mane Flowing white into space In the background the band plays* Seducing each estrus lioness a king's queen's compliance It's all about the mane So fly that freak flag ...
