Corroded = Rhwd 2016-2019
The politician (a laudable man,
loyal, out of necessity, to his party),
 having lost his seat
 (what a painful experience that was), 
looking very pale,and in distress, 
proceeded from his ghastly constituency 
to seek the advice of a philosopher – 
the greatest philosopher of the age – 
in order to comprehend what had happened 
(he wanted the opinion of a wise person, not the opinion of a poll). 
In a flat, prudent voice,
the Prof (a refined, sober man) said:
“Doubtless, you shall find, in a dark hour, 
that all things must rust.” - Rhys Iorwerth
