Inwardly, Yet Outwardly
This helicopter, whose neglect
The Sultan Pnin did overlook,
Is sundered; with such dire effect
The Sultan did berate his cook
And struck him from the rota
The cook, compelled to seek his fate,
Drew thirteen boxes in the sand
Each smaller than an After Eight:
Each larger than a human hand:
Some looked just like a rotor
But lo! Hair shirts
Are now in vogue
