Slacking off again
those with their snouts
in the trough and their wine
and their prosecco three
cheers for a job well done
& when the work is done it’s
clear that they should pose
for dissemination to the nation
of all the political news fit to print
meanwhile the squiffy minister
slurs his speech and in his eyes
there’s a hint of a glint raising
the glass in his hand and thanking
everyone who put in such a marvelous stint.
