Well, Google is not working for me, so I thought I'd try out the Brain Trust.

 

Was dreaming what I presume to be a poem earlier this morning. One-eyed not heard of. At least not consciously.

 

Like all dreams, you swear you're going to remember it, and then it soon Fades Into The Ether of wakefulness.

 

The only phrase I remember, because it was quite compelling, was Steadfast Reich.

 

Can anybody find this contained anywhere therein? The whole tongue seemed a bit wh Auden esque.

 

Thanks in advance.

Reich McGhee had a bulbous face

A chubby wife and with not much grace

But you'd never say this to his face

 

He had nothing going, the man was crass

With pimples all upon his ass

But I'll be damned, the man was fast

 

It happened once upon a time

A track meet vs ole Lichtenstein

the whole town knew them boys were flyin

 

I popped my knee and couldn't run

the crowd was hush under the sun

as Reich Mcghee took the starting gun

 

And off he went, just like a deer

I raised my fist, the crowd did cheer

And down my cheek I felt a tear

 

We never expected he'd even place

But telling from the grin upon his face

He didn't lose, instead fast Reich McGhee had won the race!!!

There is no way I made this up. It turns out, the "Steadfast Reich" is also a term for the Holy Roman Empire.

 

It was part of a larger poem / stanza. I wish I could recall it.

 

Driving me nuts.
