Stumpy and the Decision Tree
by Thorold May
page two

Actually he'd never heard of decision trees
Until some duffer on TV
Plugged a Modern Management course;
But then he remembered Ygdrasil, the
  Viking's Tree of Fate,
From an old book his mother once gave him,
So even if this was Bangalamoo Village,
The gods had found him at last.

Stumpy didn't exactly say the gods 
      had given him a call
But he'd been thumped, there was no doubt
And when his eyes stopped popping
They were focused in strange ways,
So he no longer gave a stuff
About Thomo' Burke's bloody old car.
