You might yet win the day…

I learned long ago to never deeply

trust the advances made

by the English men

in white and the often cried for

perfect conditions in which to slay

the oldest foe,

yet somehow it has to be said

it’s looking very unlikely

that the front foot is about to come

off the Baggy Green Coat of Arms

wearing Kangeroo and the misinformed

Captain Emu, certainly not

in any way that suggest a quality

of Mercy, not today…
