My latest piece of drivel......for non Welsh speakers around the world, chwarae teg means 'fair play'. It is a concept that most Welshmen hold dear.

On Reflection.

Mirror mirror on the wall,

Who’s the fairest of them all?

Who is kind to honest folk,

A truthful, forthright, decent bloke?

Who can provide the fiscal means

sustain us with a plate of beans,

Clean water, food and warm dry houses

Free from vermin, rats and mouses.

Could it be that Texas George

Someday soon a peace would forge

Release the throat and clutch the hand

Create accord throughout the land.

Shall we pray that London Tone

Perhaps one day will take the phone,

Call the soldiers way out East

“Come home lads! Lets have a feast.”

Eastern Sheiks, are they aware

That they could take their wealth and share.

Princes from the lands of oil

pacify the desert soil.

Find me the soul who thinks compassion,

Is not emotion out of fashion.

Find me a heart to understand

the feelings of the common man.

Show me kindness, show me love,

show me rainbows high above

Please mirror mirror show the way

Find me some chwarae teg today.
