Subsume............by Vic Davey

 


When our friend Joss said "Use subsume",

A nervous look went round the room,

No one knew quite what it meant

Was it English, was it French?

Pakistani or perhaps Pashtu?

Might as well have been Urdu. 

For all the sense it made to me.

So thanks Joss, where would we be

Without your input to our task

We'd have an easier word in Basque.
