Consultant

by

Hay Machine

Terms of his reference jargony bleat
dull insecure and obedient neat
questions whose answers already are known
recommend helima-coptery zone

Introductory splumyupp roundovaly do
historicly nobody ev-ery clue
neverthelessity apathy emmmmmmmm
gravity lavity sanity themmmm

Backgroundery nineteenandseventy one
a hundred percentery downwardly dumb
notwhat the government lackie did do
what he did not diddle might diddle you

Matrix the table in chaptery two
highlights the trouble at Dublin zoo
open the cages and turn on the tap
more of this dreary unreadable crap

Executive summary which way to turn
whatever consultant advises we burn
exploratry trip to palmbeachery clime
swim with the swimmers in tropical slime

Scrap the report and commission another
give the assignment this time to his brother
tell him we're looking for something like this
mine is a Jameson I'm on the piss

Finally something is now implementable
later but better than never regretable
axing the program in its whole entirity
consultant confirms the wise Minister's piety

Sons of their fathers who used to stack hay
wasting their lives for a diem per day
misfits adrift on a barge full of time
reopning the chestnutty Harcourt Street line
