no harm as styes stay
duly born of noblesse oblige
puerperal psychoses do abound
around memorable poppy days
forgetting to remember
i am ostracised in
the vegetable aisle
of this sceptred isle
that once fought colonial wars
british heroes ?
my grandpa told my dad
no bloody way ! he emphasised
you keep your head down son
and so that lie died
parading up and down
on no harm as styes stay
with their medals
they are as happy as pigs in shit
what is it the poet did once deride
‘dulce et decorum est pro patria mori’
who you looking at !!
