Hanging Noose Lead

My role is not to lead Rather to simply lead the heard back to the pack And answer whatever ludicrous questions should anything at all go wrong The ensuing kangaroo court once in session propose in summation to offer up As all they need is someone to blame and any old patsy will do So long as they have a functional neck too place inside the hangman's noose Then everyone's a winner here there are no losers Sorry apart from yes the sacrificial lamb. Who come on really does anyone give a damn about

Yeah I do Christopher, I’ve written several poems on the importance of scapegoats throughout human history, some even know it’s their job to be a scapegoat, such is life, but you’re right they’re forgotten pretty quickly, cheers David
