Part Twelve

Augustus Caraffi slept badly. He could feel that events were speeding to some kind of climax. He could sense it in every fibre of his being. What concerned him was that he couldn’t tell if this climax was going to be a blessing or a catastrophe. He suspected that an unseen hand was at work trying to force events.

Lacking any talent, none,

Embrace infamy instead

Becoming something we all dread.

Lacking skills so glorious

They prefer being notorious.

A sex tape carefully divulged

A sordid love affair indulged.

I hope one day they’re relegated

To the cess pool they instigated.

Forgotten like they deserve,

We’ll remember instead the brave who serve,

And those who really entertain

Or leave a legacy humane.

The great and good, the loving kind.

Who die but leave great works behind.

For those we should truly weep

And the notorious we’ll bury deep.
