‘Who’s the chap
In the wig?’, asked
David, leaning in
Close, and whispering
In Phil’s ear.
‘I think … he’s
The light entertainment
For today’, replied
Phil, unsure.
‘Oh’, said David.
‘Who on earth
Sanctioned light entertainment?’
The chap in the wig,
Who had been performing,
Up until that point,
All kinds of apparently
Awkward acrobatics,
Was then hit
On the back of the
Head by an Unidentified
Spherical Object, and fell
(again) to the ground.
David spun around,
Furious in his
Small, impish manner;
Robin was standing
Perhaps twenty yards
Away, pretending to
Lace his boots.
‘You there’, David
ordered, ‘go and find
Out what it was
That interrupted
Our light entertainment!’
Oh balls! Thought Robin,
This is ridiculous.
