Napoleon

NAPOLEON


~ A Poem by Cortney Bledsoe ~

He acts like my story
about the time Bob Villa gave me the finger
doesn't compare to his ramble

about Tom Cruise going duck hunting
on his father's land.
I'm not even talking about style,
it's height, pure and simple. Bob Villa

is 6'4'', Tom Cruise, 4'8''. Napoleon
tried three times to rule the world.
Alexander the Great
carried books which he could not read
and wept alone

at night among the dead he would later eat.
Hitler had one testicle, fucked dogs
which he often failed to satisfy sexually,

and often reeked of white out.
Genghis Khan
frequently tipped much less than 10%,
even when the service was commendable.
All of these men

were bastards, and all of them
were taller
than Tom Cruise.
