PLEASURE – PLENARY

The Borough's Committee for Leisure
Proposes a Garden of Pleasure
With cheap plastic greenery.
Let's hope the plenary
Council approves such a measure.

('Leisure' pronounced the British way.)

There was a rogue preacher called Wyatt
Whose sermons aroused much disquiet.
Emotive and loud,
He encouraged his crowd
To dress as crusaders and riot.

I knew a disgraced City gent
Who lived in a poky old tent.
He'd reach in his pocket
And pull out a docket
To check how much money he'd spent.

A maestro's ill-founded 'correction'
Irked players within the brass section.
They all disagreed
With his notion of speed,
And brazenly mocked his direction.

TENDENCY – TENURE
