Ignorance

Epigrammatic Ode to John Major

There was a man who was grey
Bur he didn't go away.
(Oh dear)

On Ignorance
I don't know who the Home Secretary is
And the worst bit is – I don't mind
It puts responsible people in a tizz,
But knowing about politics is a bind.
Because, you see, it's all rhetoric
And other rhetorics are more interesting
Geoffrey suspects I am rather thick
But he doesn't know who wrote "Little Gidding".

MOULD?
GREBY?
INCOMPREHENSIBLE?
NO!

        Plate glass snail.
                Prehensible tail.
                        Runcible fig.
                                Wig.
