HOW UNPLEASANT TO MEET

TONY THOMAS

Tony Thomas was born in England in 1939, and is a retired bureaucrat living in Brisbane, Australia. He has an Australian wife, two adult daughters, a dog and a cat. He holds a degree in economics from the University of Queensland. His interests are catholic, and include: writing fiction, poetry, and political diatribes to the newspapers. Other abiding interests include political and social philosophy, with occasional forays into logic and the foundations of mathematics. His politics are left wing anarchism, but his activities are restricted to the pen rather than the sword. Tony is actually a well known poet, writer, mathematician and logician of some stature, though he modestly complains that on the contrary, he is not only obscure - but unknown, and should probably be described as such. On this website his prose pieces and poems attract an increasing number of regular readers - so I reckon he is wrong for once - enjoy. ( Editor.)





   HOW UNPLEASANT TO MEET
              MR BUTTOCK

                        by Tony Thomas.


How unpleasant to meet Mr Buttock,
With his eyes as cold as a haddock;
His lips are so thin
You’ll not see him grin,
When he says, "Let me make it quite plain
And quite clear, With regard to your pain
And with respect to all that I mention,
You may find yourself in detention,
Whether guilty or not you’ll be in the dock."
How unpleasant to meet Mr Buttock!
With his mind like a trap
And his mouth full of crap;
He minces his words
Till they flow out like turds.
How unpleasant to meet Mr Buttock!
(I suppose I should drink up my hemlock)
