Is a phrase that used to rattle round my head
every time I rang my mother far from home
as an adult, where the 'He' became 'You',
as if I had done the wrong thing yet again,
and unfailingly I had to report my error
to Mother before anyone else did.
Only nowadays I no longer ring Mother,
and I watch too much bad news on Youtube
where he who unfailingly does wrong,
and politically he has two right feet
and knows unfailingly where they don't fit
before attempting to put them there....
