He's No Bellwether

He's No Bellwether

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

(Just fork-tongued and clever)

"
The fork-tongued and clever
Rat didn't ever
Ever change his feathers
Anymore than butterflies
Would shed their leather
And though he wields a sword
It's dull and weathered
And it's never been there
To sever your tethers
No, that rat will never
Ever change his feathers...
He's no bellwether

I have to admit, I’ve never known rats to have feathers. Although, it’s always been true that calling the wrong man a rat is one of the fastest ways to start a fistfight.

I’m curious who your intended subject might be, or if they’d be somewhat frustrated by having to tolerate an insult without due recourse.

I’m not mad at it, sounds reasonable enough. Cheers Jim.
