Talleyrand and duc di Biron

[The following sonnet may offend some readers.  Do not read it if you think you may be offended.]

Talleyrand and duc di Biron

These two engaged in a competition
With long dead Baron Byron–the French lords
T and Duc de Biron .  The ambition
Was for them to strike more holes with their swords
Than George did; these later playboys between
Them would heat more orifices to melt
Around their manly members than had been
Stretched wide when Byron had undone his belt.
The contest set between the unfrocked priest
And randy Gordon seemed to be quite fair
Since both were lame of leg and so at least
Were matched as a Special Olympics pair.
But Byron had an advantage.  His pole
Would willingly poke a masculine hole.
