I Can't Resist

[waitingman]

For those on the friends list... I've seen the poetry meme going around for a couple of days & have been wracking my brain for something deep & profound, without having to resort to looking things up - which I think would be cheating.

So, here's the only piece of poetry that has repeatedly sprung to mind. What it says about my mind, or my memory... is a different question.

While Titian was mixing rosemadder
The model posed nude on the ladder
Her position to Titian, suggested cohesion
So he climbed up the ladder & had her.

Well... it's either that, or something foul by John Cooper Clarke (Beazley St)... or something even worse by the Earl of Rochester (& I know Reynardo will guess which one!!).

All the good stuff by Robert Browning etc... I'd have to look up, as it's been a while.

Maybe I should have taken the time...

Actually, there are so many good ones by Rochester that I can't decide. But I think it's time I posted one.
