Chris

I'm sorry I used you to exhibit,

The need for radical diversity,

The need to embrace, not prohibit,

What mods push away as perversity.

I feel a toff's need to atone to you,

I'm happy for our collaborations,

But this time I'm speaking alone to you,

Your model, not mine, underpins nations.

I've filibustered you with filigree,

I've resisted your Calvinist story,

I'm not saying now that I will agree,

But I b'lieve your logic's sound, though gory.

I acknowledge you as the creator,

In what follows I'm your illustrator.
