_The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool.  
They lay. They rotted. They turned  
Around occasionally.  
Bits of flesh dropped off them from  
Time to time.  
And sank into the pool’s mire.  
They also smelt a great deal._

I wanted to be a sandwich maker for the day but the boss refused my request. ☹

No respect for greatness.
