The old man is sleeping! <br />But his lips are smiling! <br />Surely he is not celebrating <br />Moriarty's great victory against <br />S.Holmes in his dreams in any way? <br />Because that would be sacrilege! <br />And world wide there would be mourning <br />And books and sex magazines burned <br />Their authors to languish in jail <br />Suppose he is not even dreaming <br />And what we think is a smile is really <br />A grimace and he sees in his sleep <br />The terrible picture of Satan playing <br />And beating his own corpse at qiangqi <br /> <br /> Qiangqi...Chinese chess<br /><br />BrokenHeartPheko Motaung<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-old-man-is-sleeping/
