INCIDENT ON KING STREET by Tom Jensen
With such a motley rabble
of saucy young men
Their fears were that a massacre
might ensue right there and then
The coats were red
and the balls were white
As the testosterone flowed
it was time to fight or take flight…
Suddenly it was tossed
A single fateful stone
That led the one thing to another thing
As the seeds of war were sewn
Seven had died
As a result of the fight
Six were acquitted
And two branded for life
The propaganda that followed
Just acted as more fuel for the fire
With the incident on King Street
Producing the result which was desired
