Canned laughter

Went down fine

The bit of soap

Light dressing

Swallowed the lot

Sauce for the goose

And the the crosswords

The after dinner mint

Charades

The party line

Usual tip.

Head around the

Smokescreen

And the hot air rising

The smell of content

And the feathers

In your cap.

Tin Pots

Tin Pots

Signs everywhere

Up ahead

"New School of Thought"

Get in the right lane now

Due deference

And the hours put in

Spinning.

Shaving the percent

Or two

Here or there

The bottom line

Probity.

And the moral compass

Gone south

With the Bag-Man

Trumpeting,

Until the walls fall down.

The same mistakes

Until they're perfect.
