the streets


by anonymous



the people have taken to the streets
and with good reason
the queen has fled with the royal bag of gold

but the rebels are still in jail!
there will be no celebration tonight
the pubs have boarded up their windows

st john has returned from exile
escorted by the turkish troops
of the unholy emperor

our forefathers were virtuous
but the world is headed down an untrodden path
and those who crave excitement for its own sake

may well laugh into the yawning abyss
but the wise men, as usual, have nothing to contribute
