When you fucked up the Great Eunuch
of Grandeur,
nobody believed it
as it was so inconceivable
and yet you managed
near Cephalonia
to blow up
the awesome galleon
and take with you
two hundred hostages
all of them Janissaries
and eighty thousand
duchies
but also the daughter’s
acolyte,
because likewise
you returned victorious
to the island of Malta
where he had fallen
years prior
with the storm
of the century
that’s why we don’t forget you
even now.
