A Given Exercise

The seventh book

On the seventh shelf

Is a book by Paul Muldoon

The seventh poem


Is The Cure For Warts

The first line is:

Had I been the seventh son

Of a seventh son


Now, you can say what you like

About coincidences

But it is a poem where death

And death’s cure raise their heads


On page seventy-seven

Sits a poem entitled

The unicorn defends himself

I feel that It would be best to leave it at that
