marcus aurelius had a lot to learn
nero fiddled while rome burned
omar khayyam liked a glass of wine
peter the hermit was a friend of mine
marcus thought omar drank too much
nero was not concerned with such
peter lived in the desert so wide
bur omar hardly ever went outside
i think i ought to mention
the authorities paid them no attention
they came and went just as they pleased
and by madness were not seized
they were never fingerprinted
at secret dreams they never hinted
everything was what it was
roads rolled and meadows buzzed
