TR & Me & All The Ladies

I dreamed Teddy Roosevelt was there 
when the women resorted in the monastery.

They were dancing with the relics, 
tossing the coals on which St. Lawrence was toasted, 
flicking the toe-nail parings of St. Edmund, 
pilfering the penknife of St. Thomas and wearing his boots. 

And I was there, too, 
when TR offered all the ladies 
the skills for the morning headache.
