Sonnet 81


 Muses and musers whose  history will make

Dead pen men and widows (then they're rotten) -

Regardless how much care you poets take,

It's muse not poet who gets forgotten.

"Your name from hence immortal life shall have"

 Whatever you're worth it's more when you die,

As you appreciate beyond the grave:

Gold plated investments like you don't lie.

"Back Story" gone viral sexes up tired verse,

"Profile of A  Poet" is way o'er read,

Obituary writers love to rehearse

Profit forecasts before the  goose gets dead.

    (More laydee musers  than when Will dipp'd pen:

     Longevity still lives in names of men...).
