Went Back

Went back to 1480, to see Leonardo of the Vince, Went to understand, the blunder, tilting of the windmills, maybe pinch, Don Quixote, did resist, So I went off in a hurry, He was getting on me quince, Sancho Painza, Poncin, Panchet, Wanted curry on his mince, This time? Leo he was busy, Mona’s funny little smile, Till I tripped upon her gizzard, So he put away the lizard, Got as cold as the blizzard, An I heard the word, bathardi Red neck nuns, were not his style Lee now cutting up cadavers, it was my time to leave, seemed furious, hot as Java, so I sprang on me Time/Horse, flashed back to Preconceive. Don Johnson 7-Aug-11

I thought this was hilarious. You did a great job on the verse and weaving all the ancients into it.

Old Don keeps a ducking, but the wind sails sure do get him, poor old fellow is a fencing, insanity does beckon, but manful keeps a charging cos he has to win ya know

Loved the hidden meanings there...especially the "Red neck nuns, were not his style"!! Clever!
