BEOWULF YOUNG STUD
“As for the poem, one dragon,
however hot, does not make
a summer”—J. R. R. Tolkien,
“Beowulf: The Monsters and
the Critics,” Proceedings of
the British Academy (1936)
_____________
Fairy godmothers flit around—
him, entranced by his rather
butchy Beowulfian bestiality
Who can blame them—
Departmental queen bees
ensconced in Historia closetry
____________
Miss Mythologia with her—
Sister Philologia platitudes,
Archeologia & Laographia
Such excellent ladies—
surely they know seminal
Freshman sexuality nicely?
