Do I give him the order of the boot?
Does he deserve any shelf space? A man (podgy and cross-eyed at that!)who uses any old excuse to write a poem - his literary salesman's name, the fact that a Lady has asked him to write a poem, all these are poetical subjects for Byron.
"You have asked for a verse:- the request
In a rhymer 'twere strange to deny:"

Is this what poetry is all about - not for me!
So does he stay or does he go? Hang on, he may well have written a poem about the order of the boot, I must have a look before he leaves... mmm and he has written a poem called "Fill the goblet again" Now that sounds more familiar!!
