I’ve been accused of many things in life –
to some I am a villain, others a villein.
To top the lot I am a shamefully execrable idiot,
which is not, I hasten to add, my favoured view
of me. But someone I care for gave me the
title so I wear it with an impartial sense of duty.
Believe me, it is not easy being a fully-fledged,
practising, idiot-at-large. Roadsides are littered
with the remains of those who failed – as if we
need reminding! Life expectancy of an idiot is
an ephemeral idea to be stirred, not shaken –
nor imbibed unless safely seated at the time.
Consuming two idiot by-products consecutively
is potentially injurous to the health so take care!
I know these things from a lifetime’s experience.
But did you know that when two idiots agree
the earth-shattering consequences tilt our World...
