The Man In Office

The Man in the White House
Watches with a cautious  eye 
Aware  his term of office 
Is swiftly flowing by.

The man in Number 10
Still thinks his country Great 
As he creeps and craws to
His trans Atlantic mate

The Man in the Kremlin
Wanting territorial gain 
Wreaks havoc and despair
On the  defiant Ukraine 

The man in Pyongyang 
Just  doesn’t care 
How his irrationality
Drive nations to despair.

The Quiet Man of Beijing 
Very seldom  seen
Flexes his muscles
There behind the scene.

The working man in general
No matter what his location 
Labours long and hard just
To maintain his situation.
