To draw the straw!

To draw the straw!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Being dealt the short straw
no one wanted to be 
straw-man
for time had him down
as the last straw.

i love your closing ...yep....that would be the last straw for sure ... time has the say so ;} the contradiction between title and first line is intriguing to me ... we always had the choice to play the game or not and then to choose a straw ... too young to consider it fate that controlled it all anyway ... what a fun twist if fate/time was laying up for a straw man argument ...serves it right says i! :)))))))))))))))))

Straw man...hmmm. Couldn't see him as part of The Avengers!

No one DOES want to pull the short straw. It always has it's incalculable risks.

Another clever write, Andrew. Always one to ponder on. Nicely done.
