Alcuin of York 
used talons from a stork 
to help him chew 
his bar-be-cue: 
"'Tis helpful eating pork." 
Venerable Bede, 
a bookman built for speed,
penn'd tomes in reams --
though now it seems
this Briton couldn't read.

Carolus the Bald 
was hairless falsely call'd. 
Who'd on him pin
"King Head-'o-Skin" 
would see Carolus gall'd.
