THESE DAYS
The Emperor was raving again today.
We all tried to stay away.
It doesn't matter what we say,
He still will rave that way.
**********
Someone doubted the Emperor's word,
Doubtless some college nerd.
Now there'll be a thinning of the herd,
At least, so we heard.
**********
It doesn't matter who.
It could be me or you.
No one has a clue.
Perhaps someone wearing blue.
**********
That's the way it goes these days.
We're all groping in the haze,
We're all living in a daze,
And someone always pays.
**********
If you laugh or seem to mock,
If the boat you seem to rock,
Suggest he is a laughing stock,
Your head is on the chopping block.
