Their teeth are blunt these days
Their slow approach is flawed
It’s not what it used to be
Machiavelli would be appalled
Their schemes so obvious
We’ve seen it all before
Criminality so banal
They only bend the law
Their linear planning is lost
To their Twitter account
Blink and you’ll miss all the things
They fail to surmount
Swimming with sharks we find
They betray all their plans
To outwit an ancient foe
We now have it in hand

We get sharks off here. They’re only basking sharks, but it’s amusing when somebody’s swimming in the sea who doesn’t know this and a fin pops up in front of them.
Yes, that would give them quite a fright! 🙂 🙂
This, I will share with colleagues from an old stomping ground. My teeth were sharpened on Wall Street where this piece will be read, then dismissed by chum churners.
Cool, thanks Eric!! 🙂 🙂
Beautiful poem. With the right music to accompany it it’s really powerful!
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
