The bureaucrat's memo

G. Bachlund

To the public:

Dear Friends,

I will spend your money as I want to.

I will spend your money on my friends.

I will spend your money,

On rainy days and sunny,

I will spend your money for my ends.

Lovely expense accounts!

I will charge expenses as I want to.

I will party on with all my friends.

I will send the bill on,

Just when I had my fill on

Perks that my position recommends.

And so, the budget mounts!

But what's a little cash if not allure?

Just a wee expense expenditure.

Public debt is just a numbered blur!

And each of us, a blameless bystander!

I will live above you as it should be,

I will live and lavish on my pals.

I will swim in money

That's gotten from you. Funny,

Politics makes such lovely rationales!

Fat cats and bureaucrats!
