queue

by Peter Humphreys

the english
are a funny lot
they act as if
time could not
but restore
their former
glory and
as they
wait they
chitter
chatter
with civilised
vivacity
one and two
they queue
for the loo
teutonic to
the core
unlike you
and me
who are
just that
bit too
celtic

by the way
what is
a queue

Ha! and we who live our lives out west and stand about in lines, have no clue what a queue would do if one we could but find. ;)

Queuet comment, Gregory, and inspired by you Peter! You asked for it! And I suspect--your poem is shaped like an apple core. Charmingly silly. I can't stand waiting in lines either, but I did for this fine little poem!

Hehehe as a welshman living England I love this. It really throws them when you ask them not too get too English about things.
