Cleopatra Crazy? Poem by Douglas Scotney
Cleopatra Crazy?
♡
♥
Cleopatra's beauty may have been unique,
but 'Cleopatra' certainly wasn't:
it means 'father's glory', 'dad's fame' -
many couples gave their child that name.
Had there been a sudden rise in Patrocleos,
you might suppose she'd ordered the switch.
There wasn't. With beauty of one of a kind,
'Cleopatra' was out of her mind.
