\nLessons<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nhe should have known to leave school left,
\nnot tag back to the party
\non third-hand word of hi-jinks,<\/p>\n
\nunlocking the Botanics
\nfor hothouse booze and maybe things
\nmight get a little steamy.<\/p>\n
\nlily pads and sabulous fish;
\nthe fearty swimmer selected
\nfor propelling off the edge.<\/p>\n
\nas marked for special treatment
\nthe day they pissed his pacamac
\ndown the poolside toilet.<\/p>\n
\nhad earned him a punch in the belly
\nas Swimming followed History,
\nGreat War reverberations:<\/p>\n
\nBut the name is Danish. And why
\ndid you group-gob on my blazer?
\nThey tellt you were adopted.<\/p>\n
