4043 - Johann Wolfgang von Bowie

I've read so much this weekend, it's not true
It's the main thing I've done, to be honest
I finished the Goethe, now I'm on to
A David Bowie biog, which I'll blast
Through, no doubt, easy reading, finish fast
Already on page 88 of it
(By Paul Morley) and I'm certain that that's
Nowhere near as far as I'll today get
By bedtime, bearing in mind that I got
Through the last 40 pages of the stew
Of Goethe's sober self-obsessed mind, blessed
With fame, full of self-doubt, travelling round hot
Italy in the 1780s, knew
Places I've seen - Naples, Rome and Florence
