Excremental

Shit stirrer labeled am I; this a slur -

Stirring shit is only possible where

There happens to be shit to stir.

But I do not speak of my derriere,

Which is awarded a wipe, not a stir.

Term ‘shit’ would be favoured by poets here;

A metaphor is loved, and they prefer.

Refers to ideas long dead but ne’er

Properly demolished, made disappear.

And so I undertake to stir and stare

Them back into history’s long gone year.
