I was caught reading Kant and Plato

At a bus station in Dover

Whilst waiting for the bus

That I had just missed

The police were called

And I was subsequently arrested

For a disturbance of the peace

I explained that I had just visited the castle

Above this famous but unremarkable town

And whilst there I had purchased a jigsaw

When they heard about this and that I had sampled

The excellent NAAFI strawberry cake in the canteen

I was released with just a very stern warning

And told to stick to the works of Martin Heidegger
