"Cromwell Bested Me" is a short poem by Karl Jones.
Cromwell Bested Me
Karl Jones
I have a certain fascination—morbid, I hope—with Oliver Cromwell.
My Gnomon Chronicles wiki currently stands at 1,614 entries in Category:People (nonfiction).
Of these, the vaster portion embraces mathematicians, scientists, scholars, philosophers — even theologians and economists are not exempted from service, when their lives and dogma can be brought to harness for my purposes.
Very, very few who lack all of the above qualities make it past my watchful vanity.
But I cannot evade the truth:
Cromwell bested me.
Moody Blues parody
See "Legions of a Mind"
Commentary
You look nervous. Is it the warts and all?
