A DRABBLE POLITICK… with apologies to my friend Björn Rudberg (a real poet)
“Oh no, something is out-of-order I fear!”
“What possibly can be wrong, Father Dear?”
“You are leaning to the Right,
Your education has a Blight.”
Your education has a Blight.”
“But, I’m graduating Today,
I must make my own Way.”
I must make my own Way.”
“Why can you not See,
That you should follow Me?”
That you should follow Me?”
“Because you see Blue and I see Red,
Does not mean I’m off in the Head.”
Does not mean I’m off in the Head.”
“Oh no, your mind is Fine,
I just mean, your path should be Mine.”
I just mean, your path should be Mine.”
“Father, if Truth be Told,
Your ways be Old.”
Your ways be Old.”
Dear Daughter, I thought you would be Arty,
What is with this Tea Party?”
What is with this Tea Party?”

Well… Where did This come from??? I don’t write poetry. But I’m always inspired when I readBjörn Rudbergs Writings, a must for all Poesyphiles.
Of course, the photo of where I am sure Jennifer Pendergast walked the ‘Hallowed Halls’… not sure if it’s Oxford or Cambridge… was the inspiration.
For other stories about Jen’s photo… FRIDAY FICTIONEERS

I am especially proud of two stories I have written recently… What’s in a Name? and Don’t be Silly… please read them and let me know what you think. I think I’ll stick with prose.
