Ovid

Ovid was a poet in Rome
When B.C. time turned to A.D.
The eternal city as home
Was where Ovid did love to be.
Ovid's poetry was of love,
Scandalous poems of mortals who
Dallied even with gods above.
Something Ovid did say or do
Caused the Emperor Augustus
To ban Ovid forever from
His beloved city of Rome, thus
Exactly why's still puzzlesome.

What was the real reason or rhyme
Exiling Ovid for all time?
