Upon Reading Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita

 

Margarita flying naked over Moscow

She might have caught a cold doing that, you know

 

A big ol’ cat shooting a Browning Hi-Power

He was certainly amusing for an hour

 

The Secret Police were like the Keystone Kops

Not to be trusted even with traffic stops

 

And Pontius Pilate ordering a death

Almost with every other tortured breath

 

There were two burnings of the Master’s book

But yet at the end someone gave it look

 

The Master’s book…hmmmm…

 

I have finished this book; I thoughtfully read it

And I must confess that I just don’t get it
