COMPLIANCE

Compliance

A Single Sentence
Silly Sonnet
By Izzy Sommers

Compliance necessary to attend
The seminar for learning to defend
The honour of the ladies at the court
Required completion of the heliport
At Queen Elizabeth’s at Birmingham
In order to request the curried lamb
Before the officer had rounded up
Participants in this year’s racing cup
Presented to the winner of the run
From Mercury to Pluto’s sun for fun
Provided that no cheating had occurred
And that no shouting had been made absurd
In writing poetry to read about
The subjects banished by a man with clout.
