JOHN DERECK JEFFERS, Brit.


Baring the scraggly broken teeth
of Britain, my Scottish dad, & me,
(hopefully, not my children)

Dereck's barking laugh's Ulster,
sense of humor, Eire, but says
it's not as vicious as Dubliners'.

Schooled at King's Hospital,
then Trinity College, he claims
British, not Irish, nationality,

admiring what 'Mrs.Thatcher' did
'for Britain', he never explains, &
I don't want to hear more about it.
