I was kind of unnerved when I heard
Crazy Tom, that you slept seated erect.
A bed so short for a man so tall
Just couldn’t have been very right at all—
And your neck must have been stiff, I suspect.

look at this. look at that bed!

********************************

I hold this truth to be self-evident,
Jefferson, that you were a sexy fellow:
Quiet and strong with talents divine,
Champion of neo-palladian design—
Oh Thomas, be my Monticello.
