Ergo,Igor

‘Ergo, Igor’

Igor Delahanty from Vladivostok,
half Irish, half-wit, all Cossack.
Flamboyant, erudite, and pompous,
loved center stage,
a clown in the circus.

He married young, had six screaming
Delahantys,
stayed out carousing, thus
his wife he did not please.

Too much vodka and who knows what
else one cold night,
did leave frigid poor Igor,
all ice blue and rigid
with frostbite.
