AND A ONE, AND A TWO
By Colin James
The enemy archers were doing
a remarkably accurate job.
If it wasn’t for the distinctive sidestep
developed one boring Sunday
by Chieftain Farrelly,
our numbers would be way down.
We can hear our oppressor’s laughter
yet our resolve is of a practical nature,
and our walks now incorporate this felicitous
way of avoiding death, if only barely.
As we negotiate our everyday tasks,
it isn’t our intention to attract
any other marauding admirers
that frequent this otherwise sanguine plateau.
Alas, another group is now arriving from the west.
Chieftain Farrelly is busy choreographing a new routine
that may just provide us enough creative control
prior to the impending solstice.
