When prisoners threatened to riot,
The governor showed some disquiet.
To prevent an affray
Or aggressive display,
He imposed a low-energy diet.

A rhetorical question is nice
As a resonant verbal device.
A speaker may shrill:
"Do you all have free will,
Or are you inert grains of rice?"

In cities like London, thank heaven,
Some stores don't lock up until seven.
It's a far better scene
Than in Covid-19
Or the riots of 2011.

If you live with a blinkered perspective
And your outlook on life is subjective,
You can blot out bad news
And contrary views,
And be blissful – if that's your objective.

THANKFUL – TIARA

There was a rich countess called Clara
Who stumbled and trashed her tiara.
She kept a cool head –
"I'm thankful", she said,
"I haven't messed up my mascara".
