The Diet of Worms

The Diet of Worms

Politics, religion, sex,
these things that often us do vex
flavoured with too hot chilli
and served abundant until we’re silly.

You say that it is food for thought
so satisfied we really ought
to be but argument and indigestion
becomes the answer to the question.
