An old man from behind the pew genuflect's to a strained audience
“Gentlemen, what are the four pillars?”
The boys stand and return:
“Patience, honour, discipline, excellence."
An emergence in civil (dis)obedience, i mean ...
In unity ... this time read it with flourish
"Patience, honour, discipline, excellence."
The old man at the pew smiles inwardly
“Excellent!” says the proto-Mr. Burns

Now one more time but mean it!
“Travesty, horror, decadence, excrement’
Time, time, time … we’re late for a very important date
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Orson Welles or was it HG?
Why does the writer use these words?

It’s god!
Cause we are food for worms, lads.
