Hail All Masters Of Small Spinning Ball Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

In England people believe; a football player
can earn 100 000 pound a week;
apparently that is okay he is; obviously worth
100 000 pound such skill such skill;
obviously this is what such ball; skill is worth?

But a nurse serving the sick
the ill the dying is not worth
more than 30 000 pound a year
more than 30 000 pound a year
angel nurse cannot be worth?

National scandal oh dear King Lear
a banker cannot be worth
that massive massive bonus
not while nation suffers recession fear?

What skill control of financial markets
employment opportunities health care
education but but only a mere banker
what is a banker compared to a football player?

Hail Hail all masters of a small spinning ball
worth a 100 000 pound a week such skill such skill.
