Recipe

Recipe

Canned laughter
Went down fine
The bit of soap
Light dressing
Swallowed the lot
Sauce for the goose
And the the crosswords
The after dinner mint
Charades
The party line
Usual tip.
Head around the
Smokescreen
And the hot air rising
The smell of content
And the feathers
In your cap.

Tin Pots

Tin Pots

Signs everywhere
Up ahead
"New School of Thought"
Get in the right lane now
Due deference
And the hours put in
Spinning.
Shaving the percent
Or two
Here or there
The bottom line
Probity.
And the moral compass
Gone south
With the Bag-Man
Trumpeting,
Until the walls fall down.
The same mistakes
Until they're perfect.
