OLD NAMES ALWAYS TANTALIZE
Old names always tantalize me:
Menelek, Orestes, Menelaus. The
profound rotunda of those old
Greek names - running the gamut
of ancient time. Hecuba, Electra,
and Oedipus too. Never knowing
what it all quite meant, I read and
forged along. Summarizing even
the plots of plays now would be to
no avail, for no understands the
ancients now.

Today's odd mix of baseball names
and sport-God guys goes nowhere
special except for mispronunciation:
lightning bars on Hispanic daggers;
a strange triple play of life and
place and logic - not near as wise.
Those old names always tantalize.
