2 AUGUST PATTERNS DISRUPTED

MY FAULT FOR BEING POOR  

SAYS THE 62-YEAR-OLD CLEANER WITH AN UMBRELLA FOR COVER  

IF NOT POURING WITH RAIN IT’S THE HOT DUST PLUMED UP BY PASSERS BY   

HONG KONG’S NOT THE PLACE TO GO FOR LUNCH AL FRESCO   

BUT CAFES WERE CLOSED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT DECREE THEN OPENED UP AGAIN OVERNIGHT  

UNLIKE THE COUNCIL ELECTIONS  

STILL NOT REINSTATED 

DEMOCRACY SHUT DOWN IS THE TAKEWAY MENU     

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS IT WAS CANCELLED 

OR THAT’S HOW IT FELT TO MANY MUSLIMS IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND  

THEIR EID CELEBRATIONS BOILED DOWN TO SCROOGE LIKE PORTIONS   

IN THE LONG RUN IT’LL BE MORE MEMORABLE   

THE YEAR OUR COUSINS COULDN’T COME  

IF YOU THINK THE REASONS GIVEN  ARE JUST NOT CREDIBLE  

YOU’LL BELIEVE IT WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE THE FESTIVAL

NEGLIGIBLE     

WISHING WE COULD BE SCEPTICAL WITHOUT BEING CYNICAL OR RESORTING TO DOGGEREL 
YOURS TRULY
