Mind My Forgotten Puddleduck
This overbearing convoy
Will never undertake
Commissions from the Kommandant
Or tasks for any tomboy
Across the seething lake
The gleaming of the sand
Sequestering no elephant
Will cauterise the caique
This overweening rogue
Has driven underground
The editor of Vogue
Once justly unrenowned
Across the shimm'ring plain
The screaming of the gland
Enraptured by the adjutant
Behind the one-night stand
This undernourished trickster
Will try to recommend
Persuasion of Persephone
Old Plato's former friend
Across the clueless page
Unspools the winding line
The lightning of Leviathan
The thundrousness divine
This undecided heckler
Shall remonstrate in vain
With Chairmen, Boards and Governors
Who go against the grain
All else is vain
