Old Roger Rises

The Return of an Old Adversary

By Paul StewartPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

He stalks at twilight

Old Roger, the soap dodger

with poisonous shite

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: I won't ever apologise. It had to be done.

For clarity, this is the return of a fabled character whose legend was told of in a limerick of years gone by.
