Idyll
So Panglosses got their departments
And Candides have their garden fun
The citizens in their apartments
Enjoy the morning dazzling sun
Things go as planned, but so it must
In the best of all possible worlds
Which hadn’t yet been blown to dust
Saved by the mighty Gods
Who like to show the master swing
The ball rolls straight into the hole
The guests applaud, a tray of drinks
Is brought to ply them all
And in the evening breaking news
Some platitudes I see
Followed by the most flat reviews -
Just how it meant to be.
