Tell Me, Sir

A Work in Progress

What price beef sir?  How much does it cost?

What price diesel?  Do you know?

How many votes you’ve lost

 

What price a bribe sir?  How much would it cost?

We want the gods to return.  We want you to go.

 All we were destined for is lost

 

The longer you stay the more all will mistrust

Historians will marvel you lasted so long

It will take generations to undo all your wrongs

 

What price must we pay you to resign in office

Your glory intact although you’re delusional

Must we offer orifice assuage you with bodice

 

No.  We’ll trust voters will your Speaker delouse

Take back citizen control of the House
