Those ‘gigantic leaps’ which they say are self evident -
aren’t; now that’s not me being a rotten tomato - it’s far
more likely a swede - rutabaga if you want - pondering
upon what I am ‘supposed to see’ in their precociously
mangled crash of layman’s terms describing what was
already there - it’s not a head-in-the-sand argument of
a vegetable tentatively explaining its existence either -
although I can’t rule that out as a realistic possibility
But where rhetoric’s liberally splashed with a jingoistic
haberdashery I’m a bit wary; besides swedes aren’t a
brassica contagiously given to leaping to conclusions
that leave you amazingly out-of-breath - over an idea
that’s crazy - unless you’ve been off out of th’ veggie
patch for an age while breathing their rarefied air
