but King Farage rejects St George;
a knight of Palestine
Growing up, there was no single toy
I favoured most of all, although my dad
regrets the day he took me, as a boy,
to Three Counties Show, a fair that Malvern had
for there the Fischer Technik travelling bus
took hold of my autistic-challenged head
and let me fiddle with construction kits because
where Lego stopped they went further instead.
(If Lego in my youth had sold a Technics set
I would have pledged my loyalty to that
but in those days there were no gears as yet
and thus my budding engineering brain was flat.)
Dad emptied out his purse and bought a starter set
and set me on my most expensive hobby yet.
