OUR QUIRKY OCCURRENCES
So, in selecting what should have been our lace cloth for Speech Day, we
had passionate campaigns, speeches and a voice note from Kordei Okai
advocating for one cloth or the other. Here is one such impassioned verse;
Friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
I come to expound the virtues of Cloth C, not to bury it.
Understand that clothes maketh a man,
Or in this case, elegant women of prestige and purpose!
So let it be with us, as we adorn ourselves with Cloth C;
The only raiment exhibiting elegance and that touch of excellence fit for the
180th anniversary.
The noble Brutus (Kordei & co) hath told you that Cloth C is dizzying and
ambitious, whichever way you turn it – down, across and diagonal.
If it were so, it would be a grievous fault, and grievously would we have
erred.
But Brutus is an honourable fellow; so are they all, all honourable fellows.
Cloth C is classy, chic, elegant and outstanding.
But Brutus says it is ambitious and non-conforming because of the white
colour.
And Brutus is an honourable fellow.
We thrice presented several cloth samples,
And thrice did Cloth C stand out.
