Lord Byron - Adventurer gone mad!

 

'A moist Lord Byron imagined rowing back across the Hellespont'. - Circa early 1800's - recreated by Copilot and Joel Cairo to celebrate the 215th Anniversary.

'Byron was just not up to it'

 sunny and verdant, month of May.

Lord Byron for a student stunt

Did swim across the Hellespont

but sadly stamina our hero did lack

And should have hired a row-boat

for safely getting back.

This poem was subsequently amended because Joel Cairo's smart wife pointed out to him, that Lord Byron drowned! - "All done in the best of possible taste".- the late Sid Snot.

Erratum: His partner, now says, oops! -she has been watching too much Telly it wasn't Byron it was Shelley! Lord Byron died of a fever and no one could save him, in Greece, and Joel didn't know that he co-starred with John Travolta in the blockbuster film musical release.
