Thou art a whiny cunt, my dear old friend

although you taught me much of art and life

a new play written every year, to fend

against the poverty of common strife.

You took a wife to breast to look the part

of cultured man and upper-middle class

I'm sure it helped she had a decent start

of birth and possession of a slender arse.

She left you free to write and travel lands

in poverty and starved by years of war

and put on plays; alleviate the sands

of early onset death; from boils and sores.

 Dear Bill, we all revere you, tell us how

 to live beneath the fascism of now.
