They came at it with everything and the kitchen sink
yet our solidarity of maladroit hardly made an impact
their kitchen sink made more sense than they did
but
they ate tons of chips and gallons of tea
and hid away all the time
talking and writing
mumbo jumbo
in some insane
version of
English

they were left with embarrassed red faces
they agreed it was a fitting tribute
to their socialists ideals
but
the kitchen sink was more useful
it was still pure white despite
thirty or more years of war
stood firm didn't hide
unlike the nonentities
somethings were
made to
last
