Kind? Not my kind; unkind

When things that appear as they should do

turn out to be nothing but fake

and their form and position and physique

take shape for appearances sake

when so often we're clearly deluded

and substance is masked from our view

we behold and embrace and take comfort

well what else can we reasonably do

but some things are there to be questioned

should not be allowed to deceive

not left to unquestioned purdah

for believers to simply believe

for example take one Sandi Toksvig

that Radio Four smart-arsed hag

and please be assured that this item

is Clive Anderson wearing drag.

Hi Nick, cheers for that. My cheek is often bulging, my tongue often bit.

Thanks Lynn, I'm flattered that she should trouble herself!

Not only harsh Laura but nothing like intended, but I wanted to wrap it up and needed a speedy bedfellow for 'drag'. You may have missed a trick with the 'more hair' thing; they are truly one and the same.

Are we feeling tongue-in-cheek today? Tubby Anderson and cynical Sandi might be as you say but take a peek at a poet named:
Ambrose Bierce and his poem: Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge.
Poetry might change forever!
Ta much, Nick

'hag'? more than a tad harsh. She's got way more hair than Clive anyway.
