Seminar

Plaid shirt Elvis twiddling
pedantic pubic sideburns

Prince Edward roman-nosed
in college shirt and collar

Side parting moomin, chin
rested on tiny chubby hand

Sheepish split end Sally eyes
like an Egyptian mural

Pedant redhead hook nosed
jabbing biro and whining

Bowlcut giraffe woolen
scarf wrapped round neck

Penchewing blonde orally
fixated on the middle distance

Mascara blinker fiddling
with her black buckled sleeves

Booted porridge brains knaws
on a straggling brown lock

Queen Victoria shakes jewels
wobbles and is not amused

Ski jacket in flats looks angry
at her page of scribbled notes

Thirtysomething SE mother
wears her seniority well

Tutor gestures like prom queen
making tiara gushing speech

I rankle in my corner
vent spleen, feel better
