DUAL DAZZLE

Dazzle still and dazzle dancing,
Dazzle off hot metal glancing,
Dazzle wet and dazzle dry,
Dazzle calm or dazzle spry.
Unseen, above, the dazzling sun
Razzle-dazzles everyone.

GLUG!

Sometimes, I imagine an era, way before our own;
The eighteen-hundreds I am thinking of.
And, as somebody of the time, I find a picture on the ground,
A picture like the one you see above.
To our modern eye this cartoon is as plain as it can be;
'A man with a mobile sends an SOS'.
Two centuries ago it wouldn't make a bit of sense
And I would only make a puzzled guess.
Whatever would I make of it? What's the purpose of the dots?
It simply wouldn't mean a thing to me.

If we could see a cartoon from the future, way ahead,
Just think how truly flummoxed we would be!
