Plato with a Right-hand Drive
If only life had been so mad
and frolicsome and Britain had
been but a meadowscape of green
where lissome ladies might be seen
attending (with a well-bred smirk)
to spies and cads - Avenging work
for Queen and country.
Today’s Avengers can’t compare–
they’re superheroes, neither rare
nor simply fab like Steed and Peel
ensconced behind a Bentley’s wheel–
Platonic lovers.
