Harder To Take Bush From Salman Poem by John Sensele

Harder To Take Bush From Salman



Easier from a bush to take a man
Than from a man to take the bush
Cos bush sinks DNA into Salman
Making removal hard to push

In settings where Salman regresses to type
Despite apparent education
Acquired with much hype
With fanfare and pomp across the nation

That progress for Salman lauds
At the earliest opportunity
That Salman plods
In dignity to infinity

But Salman plays at full blast
In the middle of the night
Leaving neighbours flabbergasted and aghast
That Salman after all not enough light

Has assimilated despite speaking long English
Donning designer suits
Behaving Scottish
His feet brandishing slick boots

Expensive in taste and quality
Flashed in prominence
Both in versatility and quantity
Claiming a share of impertinence

Salman wears on designer shirts
From Italy and England
As with an unbearing accent Salman blurts
Nonsense that irritates the linguistic gland

A connoisseur possesses
By virtue of humility
Salman never stresses
To drown his ladida attitude in ubris humidity

That makes the mind boggle
At the misconception Salman features
In his struggle
To match characters from lofty literatures

Salman emulates
Aping wrong manners
When Salman
In his own works throws spanners.
