A Poem: Eudora
|
|
Eudora Eudora danced with glee that night. Her heart was not with us. She could not see what we all knew As fortunes crumbled in. War soon would be upon the world And deaths-head men would rule. Our little dancing gypsy troupe to scatter into never be . . . And still Eudora danced, the village men agog, while Balalaika`s strummed the final chords a dirge to our last song. Then we all would lumber on thru damp, misty, waxing rays and such fearsome places would we go as honored guests of Deutschland. Dachau, Belsen, Auschwitz, we saw unto the end, except for Eudora, who made her sullen way to Spain and became the errant Queen of Pasa Doble
