Once Upon A Watering-Hole On World Water Day

Once Upon A Watering-Hole On World Water Day

sticking with the diary theme
but not quoting directly
since it's a publisher's dream
(hint hint!).

however, bits n bobs i now scatter
such as the matter of Mary Malone
Spanish, Swiss n French
Many Indian languages, all in a sense
chillin at an Irish tent
aeons ago, but on 22 March!

now i find the song's on youtube
-been addressin' their Caliph
for some years i find
trillions of hits
but only today did i wind my way
to the particular rendition
(there's a poster with a mention
of Robinhood!)

Kangaroo courts might work for Oz
but please do note
here, we strive to walk the tightrope
when it comes to justice-delivery.

Unlike the executive and legislative wings
that might function like pizza delivery,
when it comes to applying the rules of natural justice
you need checks and balances to keep a watch on quirks
and this is how the unliveried
Supreme Intelligence
lurks!

(oh my goodness!
it's also the birthday of His Holiness!!!)
