3. Entry from Jeff Perkins
A Valentine’s poetry competition for lovers of history
Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus
They call you weird, they call you odd
But to me were a living god
You ruled the world, a noble hero
By haters rated less than zero
They said your music skills didst blow
Could not critique your light show though
With Rome capital Roman Candle
A glory greater than the scandal
Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus
Thou art still loved by some of us
Ignore the slurs of those so blinded
By attitudes of the Nero-minded
