John Beam Poet Couplet

The Brolly Volley

Jousting and parrying the parasol defend the brolly                                                Etiquette has lost the brawl on the way to the trolley                                                      To raise it a little higher a common courtesy                                                             Today they are wielding them with no mercy                                                           Wetter now two men stuck in the door with their shields                                                    It is not the days of chivalry I’m glad they're not fighting for real                                       It’s like they are standing under a tree after the rain has quit                                             In the age of selfie’s they have forgotten some etiquette
