Happy Hour
ENTRY is free if you can stand the manic
GIDDY crowd. If you want to drink you’ll need your hand
STAMPed. There you go. Watch your feet – try not to slip in the
VOMIT.

All about me
ARENA crowd is screaming, ‘Go for the try!’ As
BEFITs the self-centred inside centre, he says, Just a
JIFFY, I’m in control of this ball. I’ll kick it into
TOUCH.’ The crowd groans – a sustained, despondent sound.

A day at the office
CIVIL servants, en masse, in a rage,
ENTER the pothole-minded politician’s office,
IRATE at his effect on their combined
LIVERs, that feeling of bile swirling
ROUND. They settle, bitter, before the
TEPID MP, a lukewarm bath of a man,
TRULY a man who eclipses all the
USUAL machinations of the average legislator.

Sailing across the Surface
ENTER the room, keep calm.
TRULY try to remember yourself as you circulate. The
USUAL veneer of courtesy is required. A
CIVIL tone will get you far. But you will be alone as ever.

Kayaking in the jungle
Getting the ZEBRA to stand in the
KAYAK was the easy part, which
HENCE proves that making him sit and
paddle, this side, that side, was the WORST.
