Well true, they’re not exactly sneaking up on you
out of th’ blue so to speak, but there’s an idea its
not entirely innocent either; once you’d agreed t’
th’ plan, even if it’s never been expressly voiced
you’re in a no-mans land, where mines flush out
rabbits silly enough to dig too deep; ’Oi lah, you
say, if this is what you expected of me now, why
can’t I do a bulldozer hire - & take a rain check
But there isn’t an easy-out for the presumptions
sold too indiscreetly - whether off clearly missed
cues or mistaken assumptions - or worst kind of
druthers - but the onus’s on you to perform now,
so welcome to the place you’ve earned - & we’d
say gracefully if it wasn’t too obvious a pretence
