MERITORIOUS SERVICE
('come the revolution')
For meritorious service he was suspended
by his neck until dead, hanged like a hanged
man from a rope draped over support beams
in the grand and spacious central square.
(Where, evidently, he had no support).
Just before death, as further honor,
he was given the key to the city, a
complete transit pass - anywhere,
ever, at all, anytime - a lifetime
gold-card National Library pass
and a full-expense paid portrait
sitting in the Atelier For Grand
National Artists. Apparently,
and unfortunately as well,
this all came his way just a
little too late, as the late
Great General is dead.
