Referendum day 2 - Poem
Literary Review, Wntr, 2002 by Peter McCarey
Referendum Day 2. Was it Kelvin or Clerk-Maxwell, Satie or Tobias Hume orchestrated this foregathering on the darker side of Metis (one of Jupiter's wee satellites), up to our ears in aspic, re-rehearsing Brigadoon? It would seem (though I can't say what Dunce or Watt or Michael Scot concocted the theology) that we're staying here in Corkerhill West--"A Tibetan assembly"-- until our heirs decide, like, if we are or if we're not. I mean, severally and jointly are we a nation or a neep? (Neep! Neep!) This thing's not working! Yogi Bear and his cheap laser link to the front page of the Herald ... Tea break's over: back on your heids.
