Navigating the Rules
Everything not forbidden is compulsory
-T. H. White, The Book of Merlyn
The rules are
immutable and absolute
Except when they’re
not. The rules this week
Are whatever the powerful
might say -
Questions are a
burden; simply obey
Accept that whatever
you think is wrong
To the truculent who disapprove
of you
For you are outdated,
a relic, a prat
And you are wicked to
disagree with that
Anything in your
defense that you might urge
Is now a forbidden ism
subject to purge
