30th August 2025



locked out the house

my first assumption is divorce.

No! I have his dog!

Let us slap trigger warnings on the things

that cause offence to those of kinder wit

for art reflects the range that hist'ry brings 

and less compassion that with the modern sit.

Those of nervous disposition may desire 

to avoid performance of The Tempest now

you may dislike the popping of balloons and tire

of Biblical slaughter of the Fatted Cow.

And careful be when viewing public arts

for there often is depictions that can be

the naked human form, in all it fleshy parts:

Averted eyes avoid biology.

 But racist old TV is fine to keep on shelves

 and millionaires can alter laws to suit themselves.
