A tough and rugged giant
Opened beer cans with his teeth.
His designer concrete trousers
Had barbed wire underneath.
People trembled at his footstep,
His presence hushed a room.
People wondered who he was,
And was it who or was it whom?
Reading on the Richter scale,
No fancy fop was he.
Until one day someone saw this man
Put milk into his tea.
