Ode to a Roman Bust

A little Idus Martii verse for you, my friends. 😉

What happened to your nose?
Like your body, was it left behind
in some foreign land
or distant time?

You thought to be immortal
and set yourself in stone –
your greatness long remembered
after going to your tomb.

Your unflinching gaze
from cold unseeing eyes
you thought would get respect
from those that passed you by.

I must tell you that you have survived
but as far as greatness goes,
I really know not who you are
and only wonder, "Where's your nose?"

    If you carve your own bust, will people in the future think you were important?

    I think they might. But I keep using chocolate and, well, you know…

    Sculpting your nose takes too much time..

    +Scott Cramer I've sent a service note in my corporation asking every one to name me Imperator in every official mails, meetings, discussions…
