We're All as We Lie |
August saw a contest fit for Kings |
From far and wide they came to trade their swings |
Little grubs with stone-age clubs and tanners' sons |
With foxes' gloves |
They came face to face the stiffest coarse since Tring |
Harold took an eight-iron at the first |
Hopped the hedge while Tostig chipped and cursed |
Sliced into a sticky patch and, playing out, he’d met his match |
When lettuce leaves had made the crowd disperse |
So, we’re all as we lie |
We’re all as we’re lying |
No, don’t tell me it’s time, |
It’s all in the timing. |
Getting wiser, so much wiser, introspected ostraciser, |
Drinking up with no holes barred to play. |
Daphne lay beside the Silent Pool, |
When suddenly the air began to cool |
Otto heard it, running back, and tried to stop the thudding crack |
As Luther strode up, crying «Winter Rules». |
«Holy Mackerel», cried the Papal Prince, |
«you're out of bounds I’m really quite convinced». |
