Walking down
a road lined with elm and oak,
A puzzling
image strikes the wand’ring eye –
An anthill
at the foot of a mailbox
Covered in a
white coat of poison.
What purpose
did this serve? To protect
The postman
from savage stings? He is overdressed
In metal and
in glass. . . .
The rest is

Holy Ælfred
the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema to
the Union!
