Bureaucratic Guile

Should one merely settle for the word ‘Style’ In lieu of the more appropriate ‘Guile’? A secretary asking an applicant to wait for a while But still not nearing this anxious file; Letting the doomed document and others pile, Sometimes taking this to a shocking mile: Many false phone calls and not-to connect dial Freshly asserting how Man has been shoddily vile. Even when Applicant starts raving, secreting bile, Feet noisily attacking office tile; He, mentally wishing for the contents of a poisoned vial Or resourcefully arguing his case, Fertile River Nile… It’s all BUREAUCRATIC GUILE!
