Poem
Farewell, then, AUKN boss, The next this year makes three. By the time they find a substitute, Slovenes will be at sea. He tried to cover his behind; AUKN boss of bosses, As every week, balances grew bleak: He weighed merits and losses. With all this he'd no time to eat, And round and round he flew. And now he's split in a hissy-fit; So helmsman, too-de-loo! Day after day, day after day, He drifted on the ocean; Guano-vernment rained on his ship Their suggestions for promotion. Cousins, cousins, everywhere, Corporate boards crosslink; Cousins, cousins, everywhere, Let's take you for a drink. Accountants talking rot: O Christ! Missions, visions - oh please! Yea, slimy characters need legs And slimy policies. So has he done an hellish thing? Not hired who? We dunno: Was it absurd, to have a separate curd From the whey Slovenia owes? This wretch won't play, after 60 days; Pissflaps, he'll have to go! God help ya, gospod Bencina From the fiends, that plague us thus! - It's time to go — shot like cross-bow, The AUKN boss. Ah! walk-out day! what evil looks Had I from Ernst and Young! Who's at a loss? AUKN's boss Wouldn't take a bung? "You'll be" quoth one, "abolished - no Stigma to double-cross." He chose to go - why? We don't know: Harmless AUKN boss. Re-reading the original gave me a great idea for dinner until I realised all the storks have all flapped off to Africa for the winter. Pity, as I have some ancient marinade from Tuš. Like the subject of the poem, I didn't have the stamina for a Coleridge-length effort.
