Snuggled amongst vestiges/
popping images of resistance and blighted souls/
stands on boulder stilts the bmc.
where colonial echoes team/
built in 1910 to last/
built to blend with the caprice of mvako
flaunting german- local masonry mix/
flashing light, space and corrugated sheets/
splattered with gothic and tudor motifs
unveiling in its recess/
grand:
– dining room
– bar
– hall and lounges
for the ordnung supplements
vereinskultur:
– clubbing with a good quaff of snaps and banter besides
at the top of the hour/
waltzing on the polished timber flooring/
as the occasion warrants
with the march of time/
as allied boots topped the bill/
john bull stamped its imprimatur
cushioning and sustaining the english phlegm:
– class
– values
– snob
pitching lawn tennis, squash and snooker/
whetting the appetite of latterday irrendentists
