Sonnet for Salvadore

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."
