American Gentleman Ii

America Gentleman II His long stripped Hat is a storey thing Yet his head scantly fills it to the brim His Brain being below the first floor Floats in the scar sprinkled Skyscraper Vaunted as “Most Sublime!” His Coat flows so long and so bright A frayed notorious Cat O’ Nine Tails Only that he’s the Cat of Nine Lives Coaxing a scary plague back in Town! Racy colours of Pied Piper! Arriving at the Port from land abroad “Hero’s in Town”, RED carpet rolled. Frowning: “Been into too much blood, “I wouldn’t desire that kind of stuff “Flag you raise to honour me must be “A Scar Spangled Banner!” Then on tow, kid captive from abroad Chained and destined for some Zoo... A stage was set for a Hero’s welcome- To lavish with fun and raucous praise “I need no dough with no hologram “Of Pirates on eye-hoods!” JM 04th Nov’ 2013
