Poetry The One That Hiawatha Couldn't Pace

It was the arrow that Robin shot

that Hiawatha couldn’t pace

that Holmes couldn’t trace

that Barbarella couldn’t space

that Billie Jean couldn’t ace

that Helen couldn’t face

that Esmeralda couldn’t grace

that Hercules couldn’t brace

that made Marian remark

“he’s chock-full of clichés”

that made me think

“ahhh… that olde chestnut again”
