'Too Many Poets'

Chris Copping's mp3 sketch here

Key to authors' pseudonyms

One was lost and one was found
one was buried in the ground
One was shining in the light
mostly fading fast from sight

two sides
to ev'ry coin
lovers break
and foes rejoin
poets laugh
fools lost in thought
try to buy what can't be bought

One was spinning on the edge
some were tossed upon the bed
Thirty pieces for a slave
roll you straight into your grave

two sides
two faces laugh
the title page
the epitaph
can't buy a city on a hill
can't buy a soul, can't buy a thrill

two sides
to ev'ry coin
old man dies
and baby's born
new world starts
and old world ends
makes a man
to make amends
