Lazy Majesty
We are waiting
for the comfortable crumbs
to drop like proverbial
pearls of wisdom before
us, the humble swine.
Batmen and butlers
run up the flagships
and throw a cordon bleu
about the top brass
monkeys.
Their gullets are
filigree silver,
and their brave endeavours
are why we are all
in a state.
A fat controller
hands his imbalance
to a chosen charity:
this is a signal
failure. What a dead
giveaway.
