Diversity

Arctic explorers, intrepid and bold,

Bravely confront and endure freezing cold.

Crusty conductors inspecting your pass,

Don’t seem to know they’re a pain in the ass.

Eccentric inventors who make potty things

Fashion devices with nuts, bolts and strings.

Generous FanStory readers enthuse,

Happily handing out six star reviews.

Ignorant infants who never say “ta”

Justly incur stern rebukes from their Ma.

Kilted gamekeepers stalking red deer

Learn to stay downwind as they get near.

Monks in their cloisters brewing strong ale,

Nervously pray when their beers go on sale.

Obdurate bouncers patrolling the clubs

Propel drunken revellers back to their pubs.

Quaint little ladies with silvery hair,

Rockin’ and rollin’ when hubby’s not there.

Smooth politicians pretending they care;

“Trust Me” they smirk with a confident stare.

Underpaid nurses working flat out

Virtuous angels, of that there’s no doubt.

Wives-to-be wondering what fate has in store;

“X-factor husband” they deeply implore.

Youthful skateboarders with balance so fine,

Zestily soar, twirl, then land bang on line.
