Spelling it Out
Written by John Killick
The Gardens Party renders signal service
by keeping our prison policies aflame
with regimented rows of scarlet beauties
- even here discipline’s the name of the game.
Except that bed outside the Governor’s Office,
at first sight just daffodil-full, pale and tense.
But then the eyes make out the code it carries:
‘BOLLOCKS’ the blooms read. And he knows it makes sense.
