Bureaucraticalysm

 

There’s no intricacies hidden in it - we can see through 
to the other side easily; no misnomers where those old 
adages are casually stretched over faux nomenclature, 
and aptly taped in places where bullshit baffles brains 

Who’d’ve thought it was worth trying to get away with - 
making them seem the most appropriate words paints 
warnings: harken here, this’s another in-situ attempt t’ 
radically crucify anything rated as just common-sense 

So where d’ these codswallop doyens of bureaucratic 
redundancy draw the line on flapdoodle and malarky; 
th’ argument of being pragmatically businesslike isn’t 
a thesaurus of felicity and appurtenance in any way 

And judging from what we’ve read here today, it won’t 
ever be listed among the top auspicious phrases we’d 
like to see snaffled in tomato sauce, & plagiarised with 
grated cheese before posting on the bulletin boards
