John Milton, Valsa, thus the past tense.

Hilarious! When I saw the title under New Poems, I thought, OMG, another poem about me! I was being self-absorbed, I suppose. Glad to see it's not!!!!

"Paradise Lost" poet John Milton (1608-1674) disliked Cambridge but loved its cheese. He became fluent in Italian so he could extol Italian cheese! John was thinking, "cheese" 200-years before the camera was invented! Aloha!
