These Days

 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.
