A 'Burg' Too Far

A 'Burg' Too Far

The 'burg' in Johannesburg means town,
the 'berg' in Drakensberg means mountain;
therefore, Laura Kuenssberg is a mountain,
and all the other 'bergs,' albeit may be Jewish.

'What's in a name,' William Shakespeare inquired,
quite a lot, when you really think about it all,
dislike rears it's ugly head, that silly 'rural' again,
in some cases, I would be welcomed to the community. 

If I have an English name, I could be accused
of invading the Holy Lands, for Allah's sake, get over it;
'That which we call a rose by any other name,'
'would smell as sweet,' can not associate with Montague,

Still, we'll keep a welcome in the lovely hillside,
but that happens to be ours, not really theirs.

NB. Laura Kuenssbetg 
        is the. BBC's TV
        political editor.

Hi Terry, 
We are judged on so many outside parts before anyone really gets to know the real person inside. It is sad 

Nice write
