Renowned poet Charles Lamb,
Was gentle like a lamb.
He took care of Mary, his sis,
Who drove him crazy when her sanity was amiss.
In a mad fit of irrational rage,
Mary took her poor mother's life and age.
They were thus orphaned.
Their life was darkened.
Lamb, taking sister's charge turned a new page.
Charles Lamb and Mary were together though an odd pair.
Lamb stayed gentle, but Mary was at times like a bear.
They collaborated together in an ambitious literary pursuit.
Unfortunately, marriage, both the brother and sister did boot.
