Debate

DEBATE A line of faces In semi-circle Big ugly at center All in mask and gown A slow waltz begins They speak Each in turn From the crowd Chief Pemican says “Pale faces speak with forked tongue.” Each step to forced control But, Senator_________and others decide To foxtrot Cymbals crash With annoying bluster The whole group in disarray Defending choice Save big ugly Who won’t step to either tune Dave Austin

Big Ugly reminds me of North Korean leader; he stands his ground, whatever the others say! I think next step is to put an end to the music. ~ I'm still pondering...not easy to see inside your mind, Dave:) ~ Regards // paul
