Well, Professor Whalen, here it is, what you’ve been waiting for. For those of you out there who don’t know, this is an original sonnet I composed. Enjoy. –Jeff Calzaloia
Be born beneath a bearded star,
And hold a secret in your blood;
Live your life and wander far,
And then get caught up in the flood;
Dance the dismal waltz to the last,
And divide your soul seven ways;
Strike when six and ten years have passed,
And guide your student through the maze;
Punish the ones who caused your pain,
And turn betrayal on its head;
Learn through error the solving strain,
And how to mend the twining thread;
Then, with Memory’s strength in hand,
Show him the truth and cleanse the land.
