Marty. I think Mr. Adams would certainly claim no. 2. I think he is a fellow traveller with Richard Dawkins.

No. 1 is difficult. He was a communist and is a strident socialist, but then again he is also a wealthy rural landowner and business man.

Thanks for the comment Heather. I did intend to try and slow the rhythm down in the last stanza, is that what you mean ?
I also wanted to make a bit of variety in the metre and rhyme just so it didn't go from beginning to end on the same " tune ". Do you think that didn't work ? :)

It slowed Neville but I found it a bit jerky whereas the first two stanzas have a lovely rhythm.
