Poem Of The Day

Democracy

Here´s a boat that cannot float.
Here´s a queue that cannot vote.
Here´s a line you cannot quote.
Here´s a deal you cannot note...
and here´s a sacrificial goat,
here´s a cut, here´s a throat,
here´s a drawbridge, here´s a moat...
What´s your hurry? Here´s your coat.


By Carol Ann Duffy
