Urbane Disdain
URBANE DISDAIN
Rapier wit, persiflage and banter
In repartee, an eloquent out-flanker
Faced with insult, virulence and rancour
His response could not be ‘insoucianter’
When attacked or critiqued
He will not be piqued
Smooth as whisky antique:
These - his words cool and sleek
“You’ve a face like a snapper,
Your sister’s a slapper,
Your mother is built like a tanker”
