Suez Canal – we’re talking Tall Thin Sue -
There’s no
way she could give birth
Even if she
wanted to
Strapped
into a boned corset
From the
Victorian era - from when she sprung
Nipped in
at the waist, in a strait jacket
sucking her
breath in
while the
Captain jams his foot in the small of her back
and draws tight
the white sail ropes
Sue’s stuck
in a 1879 time warp continuum
Now, it’s a
damned inconvenient thing
But a ship
bound for Rotterdam
on a
mission: bringing Chinese cargo
went and forced
its way up her canal
without
asking prior permission, mind you
The Indian
crew could be to blame
But they
will probably put the blame on
the
Taiwanese owners
who were
actually a no-show at the party
So, they’ve
got an alibi
Whatever…..
why, it’s a shame –
the lady
has her pride
She’s stuck
in this very public humiliating situation,
Embarrassed
as hell, like a non-virginal bride
And worst
of all,
her
reputation has been tarnished now, worldwide
Sue says
she deserves compensation
The media
has caused great consternation
She doesn’t
need the aggravation
Sue’s
canal, she maintains, is a private affair
and not
surprisingly, she is demanding
they get
that damned impediment
ASAP! -out
of there!
It’s all
lies they were planning it as a 252nd birthday surprise,
And even if
they were genuine in their intentions,
It would
still be the worst present she’s Ever been Given!
