MATE

MATE

first
the chess
and there you
got me
King jammed
in the corner by
my own rook

your white knight
on a white charger
simple coup de gras
smothered mate

but nothing
like the chess
the sex afterwards

here the conflagration
much more hussars and
dragoons totally
Napoleonic

me and my Josephine
sharing our huge victory
pincer
   movement, double
envelopment
Jena, Austerlitz cannot
hold a candle
to our fantastic
achievement

in the entirety of
military history never
such a
score  achieved

BONEY

BONEY

I apologize
for not having watched
your film yet
(hope it will
be as
good as Gladiator
in which you
played an
entirely
different character)

my supreme Leo commander!

let me kick this off directly
by telling you
how
   much I love that hat
would
(if indeed I had one)
surrender
      my Empire
for that hat

which to me seems so solar
to
   proclaim you
as Helios himsrlf

on top of your head on entire
solar hemisphere
  (rising,
          setting)

of course, the hemisphere
below supplied
by the bottom
         of your
now
  my
     gigantic head

Empire for your bicorne
hat
     being
              our fair trade

nothing could be nore
Napoleonic

            be about continuaton
of your legacy

      not even
ten ghousand
YouTube videos on

your rise
     to power, sweet
              Josephine

and the utter tactical
brilliance of
             Austerlitz itself

than me
wearing that bicorne bonnet
en bataille
