Today’s TCC has an image of the unicorn from the Lion and Unicorn staircase at UofG (no surprise, as I set this TDC). As ever, I have this poem in my head:
The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.
Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.
So what skills would a unicorn have? The patience to wait till the perfect time to oust a pretender, maybe? And charm, of course, to appear sweetness and light. But watch out for that horn – it can do serious damage!
