"There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly." - Klaatu, The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

He's the epitome of humour,
the cherry red of anger,
and the dark may blue of turbulent oceans you know
you'll sink under.

An enigma all wrapped and ready to make you laugh;
he's the present that looks the worst -
a tragic Jack in the Box..
but, as he bursts free,
he'll be the last one you'll expect to see grinning.
