Auden, on a sailing ship

was it Auden who from his den

grabbed a vision and a pen

while on a sailing ship heading east?

who sat at table and ate the least

of all the guests?

he wrote often between rests,

most earnestly to Byron (Lord)

to pass the time he could afford!

with no dragons left to slay,

he soon forgot what he had to say!
