The Battle of the Books.

The Battle of the Books has come and gone, and the Boyne Writers have gone, off with the spoils. I picked up this account up from one of the combatants fleeing the scene, though I'm claiming credit for it myself, of course. One does.

The Battle of the Books.

Much to contend with.

Weather bad,

and the loss of

the high moral ground

an early factor.

Loose talk,

of the purge.

And the flag of

convenience

thrown in.

The electoral rolls.

Revisionists everywhere!

A war about a horse

And some girl

shopping in Printemps.

Having platonic relationships

in Paris.

While swapping recipes

over a cocktail sausage

that was best served

cold.

Old scores!

Might have been different

if our cromwellian allies

had come

But, C'est La Guerre!

Sour Grapes.
