History In The Make-Up
This mission statement
with a mission:
all gas and goitre,
lead-free, really swell,
like a regular Para.
And its tinted highlights!
A spoonful of sucrose
helps the medicine man:
castor oil upon
troubled waters.
O mission! O mission!
you are psycho-scrabble,
beatitudes with attitude,
sermon on the mint
with a hole in it.
Something to get
your eye teeth into,
it is debatable.
The new Te Deum,
the new tedium.
Written in a flap
of an s.a.e.:
meet the challenge,
keep the change.
