Sonnet for Salvadore

编辑:chaxungu时间:2022-10-13 03:01:30分类:英语诗歌

by Gary Miranda

Of Salvadore the Celery King I sing.

Illiterate in Lewiston, he'd wander,

so I'm told, into the ladies' john

and, barring ladies, not suspect a thing.

But when it came to celery, he was king.

And when he died, the Idaho Daily Sun

said: Salvadore the Celery King Moves On.

The celery hung its head, remembering.

Sometimes I think I'll wind down Lewiston Hill

(where winding up and winding down's the same

except for purpose), enter past the mill

and, turning to face the crowd, announce my name:

"Gary, son of Dom the son of Salvadore

the King, whose throne I've come to claim."
