of [brackets] & {options}: AN ODE TO SUOQ WAQIF

-1-

I say we bracket the options

and red line all contentions

-2-

Wrap ourselves in gutra

or sniff a bowl of zaatar

-3-

Why not a lunch of tangine

drenched in cups of karak tea

-4-

Perhaps then we can deal 

stamp our badges with a seal

-5-

Or we can go home frazzled

options and brackets frozen
