Sitting here, upon my chair, <br />Pondering the things, that ponderers do <br />Should I raise this issue? <br />Should I approach the Politicians of State? <br /> <br />I came here, only to deliberate, <br />The complete and total, lack of debate <br />On the death of Lord Thomas Becket <br />Was it by intent, or merely by mistake? <br /> <br />The Archbishop of Canterbury? <br />A swords crushing blow? <br />What's that you said? <br />He's lost his head? <br /> <br />My, oh my, I guess that's how it goes <br />I guess it's true what they said <br />I wasn't the kick to the groin <br />But instead, that slash to the head <br /> <br />I guess indeed, it was that final swing <br />I guess it really is, good to be the King!<br /><br />Eric Paeplow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-death-of-thomas-becket/
