Status Quo

Rating: 5.0


With conservative might
Science says she'll be right, all is fine:
one cancer more than three in nine
is none when your talking a million.

Presented with two,
it says what you do
is move mothers-to-be to beyond the rim
and leave the others in;

then,
only when the others start to drop,
when we get to, say, three and a half in nine,
will we have to start creaming funds from the top.
