11,677. HOW I COME EQUIPPED

HOW I COME EQUIPPED
With arrow and shield I must appear
like some mad archer, bowing down
before the stream of Narcissus. But
it isn't really that way. I drove here.
You'd think I came out of some ancient
woods singing songs and paeans to
Nature  -  Goddess of the Hunt and
all the rest. Nothing like that at all.
My agent flew me in. To hunt Rhinos
in the current day; though i came from
600 years back to get here. I have a
trellised ind that I must keep occupied
Otherwise I'd go staling from the rich
and giving to the poor once more.
Stealing from the rich, to give to the
poor? Whoever heard of such an idea
before? Well, I'd better get busy before
someone finds me out.
