One of those

One of those nights thoughts swirling around  my head 

 

The ones that leave without a trace 

 

If I don\'t catch them before bed

 

Or at least the theme 

 

What was that they said 

 

Was it all about pawns

 

Was it something that I read?

 

O yes

 

Thinking about compliance and government red tape 

 

I know it is an constant rant but how do they keep up the pace

 

Obtaining qualifications just to get somewhere 

 

Documenting details for everyone who cares

 

Following the guidelines sticking to the plan 

 

Taking the illustrious showing them the ropes 

 

Organising central control 

 

Dance around the post 

 

Some get rewarded (a pin not a crown)

 

And after their Applauded some are cut back down

 

Work for your country 

 

I prefer the King. 

 

Ask me for little 

 

Give me everything 

 

Doesn\'t matter if I\'m poor doesn\'t matter if I\'m rich 

 

I don\'t know how they do it

 

Iife must be a bitch.

 

 

 

 

 

Was it about pawns?

 

Or something up the shed!

 

I\'ve rambled on enough 

 

I\'ll waddle off to bed.
