some were conned into
doing the riddance
job
they'd been duped by
the lad's egotistical
cob

how did he gain
such an overarching
rule
more discerning folk picked
him for a selfish
mule

those of no acumen
got on side with his
ploy
they did the ousting to
aid a wimpy
Elroy

and still they're willing
in carrying out his dodgy
drift
cause the lad hasn't a
scintilla of spinal
lift
