ALBION : THE RICH MAN’S SON

…
Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ
‘Fiddlesticks and fannies’ young Marmaduke
The king won’t speak well a’ yourn – nor will he offer coin
He rewardeth only those who subjugate themselves
Show proper deference to the throne and this royal land
Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ
This island is shrouded in a mist of uncertainty
And horses stall at sight of the unicorn o’ bathed in blood
Or careering as the ashen rider into a haelen’ storm
Whence the Wallace and the Roy did gi’ na’ quarter
Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ
Long-ships once came upon a hapless maid with child
Who once called and her doting father answered
Now his honour challenged, displaced wi’ squander
There still remain one chance for he to render
Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ
To ride the prince’s mount, the white horse regal
And clear ‘the heir’ of storm, of rock, of mischance
And to his own favoured arm bring forth her beauty
Unity ~ tailored, washed, pressed, laundered, referred
Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ
Then stepped forth a shepherd’s son with locks
Full and gentle he and sporting yellered flowers
A dalliance with a restless cousin whose black mane
Curved and plaited with meadow grass the colour of her eyes
Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ Ψ
These pair, the only refuge now for Albion’s son
Who heard from birth of succulent lands his rich father
Held control and sway and where he dipped his soldiers
The yarn stretched and torn around his masters tartan shawl

#Authors Note : Edenbray on satire, on poetry – a double-bluff – You can tell this from this ~ that edenbray has always admired early Dylan – thats Bob not Thomas even though he were a Welshman – Riddles are as Riddle may ma’ dear – to quote – he who hath none to share but one – see, its easy when you know – but more interesting when you don’t.
No one can understand true satire like an Englishman – not a Scot, NOT a Welsh or Irish or any of the gaelic order – so it must be the truest, English part of me from whence thith came and I a friend and true and loyal Scot, a grandson of Irish true logic and the reddest hair who wears a true love of our Union sewn like a tattoo upon his fleshly, garment sleeve, blue and turquoise as a woad-man, red as spilt dragons blood, green as a Patrick prayer holy, sturdy as a Harlic beard so blonde and curly. – So, be it seen this day in Albion – fair sister, my own and truest brother that we together ARE indeed a Rich-man’s son & God bless you – all – dear British people at this so terrible time and amidst this so terrible pandemic brutal. edenbraytoday
