He strides the stage in gartered bands, <br />Close to his Lady, he expands, <br />yet soon to earth with bump he lands. <br /> <br />A sea of sound surrounds the stalls <br />He hearkens, though each hiss appalls, <br />And takes a bow to harsh cat-calls! <br /> <br />(27 December 1995)<br /><br />Jonathan ROBIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-eagle-s-malvolio-after-alfred-tennyson-the-eagle-and-william-shakespeare/
