I tried the tumble

fidget and grumple 

memory chez 

I slept with mumbles

  left brass in the bed

     I don't know what she said

        Blood and tears 

  Blood and fears

  I shooed the shied

she went on talking 

to no effect

  and was mad at my nosy ablutions 

    In a steam shower 

In Per Lachaise 

next to Modigliani

   she cried 

For a dead woman 

  recently buried

We rode to Montparnase

  With Walter and Celeste

      Shakespeare & Co

   and James Joyce
