Too many Cooks spoil the Broth


Some wanted a mock monarchy 
most were in favour of democracy 
those who liked lawless preferred anarchy
few voted authoritarian
all with shifting goals, tipsy objectives 
too many hands holding too many spoons 
clashing in a hot soup pot, like blot bots 
veggies ended in rotting heaped up coup !
