Monty Workathon*

by Alex Steelsmith

“Monty Python star Eric Idle: ‘I’m still working at 80 for financial reasons… Not easy at this age.’”
The Guardian

Happily, nappily,
octogenarians
ought to be idle, yet
Idle is not.

*Breaking metrical ground yet again, Alex introduces the Curtal Double Dactyl!
