Against Tintin: Yesterday And Today
When Friday rolls eventually around
It'll be Yak-Kicking Day in Tibet
For there it's the style to make them resound
Before they begin to forget
Each Sherpa with boots must kick twenty yaks
or his forfeit will be very dire
For the seventeen men in their dirty grey macs
get tied up with MIG welding wire
The yaks for this purpose are carefully bred
They're taught not to harbour a grudge...
The live by the hollow, in a big shed,
We'd move them, but can't make them budge
For the yak is a breed that is hardy and tough
And not prone to stumble when kicked
Into the maelström where all the rough
Trade goes when partners are picked
