(inspired by the delightful dialogue of Monty Python)

A swallow swallowing insects swoops
winding his way through the wailing wind
meandering on his path
towards the Marvelous Morocco.


A regal king and his merry men
stand and stare
as the swift swallow
swooped by.


The only querulous question
to cross their crafty cerebrums
Was this swallow
African or European?
