Estranged Ancestry



Playing the louche divertissement won’t make 
the story-line more a conspiracy than the grey 
tendentiously proffered puffery articulates; it is, 
at best, a worn-out cliche, and all th' posturing 
suggests they shouldn’t be onstage costuming 
threadbare arguments: - there is just too much 
revealed-rubbish scraping bottom-o’-th’-barrel 
common-sense - and it wasn’t from our origins 

But whence we came seems still t’ matter or, I 
say it genteelly, there is belief in ‘Ancestry’ we 
weren’t supposed t’ promulgate - it estranged 
apparently; tho’ Jack’s th’ same as his master, 
in truth, we’re poles apart, and that they claim 
seems to be the whole of its treasonous plot
