SHELVES

On shelves in the Church of San Domenico Maggiore
Are the corpse of every Neapolitan king
Who reigned between 1441 and 1502.
(My shelves are ashamed; they have
No kings at all or queens; nary a  duke;
Not even a small auxiliary archbishop.)
One of them – Ferdinand I – hasn’t been returned
Since being checked out in 1947;
Someone owes 22,326 dollars and 18 cents.
