Prudence



Even if it doesn’t make sense the irony tends to 
win easily and being in first place on a day with 
options to watch last night’s first round of 2017 
Woman’s RWC - it becomes an enigma verging 
on paradox - with two Currie Cup games biffed 
in salting contusions; so we don’t see any form 
of non judgemental compromise or prudence t’ 
hand which might save a modicum of what we


Like to think has pride-of-place, & a bit too late 
in the season, perhaps; so we watch th’ Ladies 
and ponder how beauty & the beast manage to 
keep dignity - usually lacking in Mens matches, 
and it provides the easy out - there is no doubt 
Ladies keep th’ contest under decorous wraps
