The great deflector

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I am the great deflector
The undoer of the best laid plans
The brown stuff under your shoes
The upsetter of the fans

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 I am the oblique angle
Glanced off a flailing limb
A trajectory most uncertain
Wending with a whim

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 I make a fool of the keeper
Bring red cheeks to the fore
As unwanted as unexpected
I bring both a groan and a roar!

Notes

With apologies to Bell X1, inspired by their song (title) ‘The Great Defector’
