In the beginning

In the beginning.

Best practice now

Had fair exchange

Exalted virtues

Order of the day

And bag your

Twopence worth

The balance only

Kept for sport

What odds?

We're at the

Crossroads now

Call either side

The fittest and

Select divide

Make Ready! watch

The lines engage

Then split the difference

They behave the same.

A bit of truth in the above?
