Carol Ann Duffy Quote

Because the Badgers are moving the goalposts.
The Ferrets are bending the rules.
The Weasels are taking the hindmost.
The Otters are downing tools.
The Hedgehogs are changing the game-plan.
The Grass-snakes are spitting tacks.
The Squirrels are playing the blame-game
The Skunks are twisting the facts.
