I won't come up short again, Falling for clichés and praise, Not now nor till the end of days. I will not roll my weary eyes, Shut ringing ears to truth-based lies; Click my tongue or act surprised, To the shenanigans of home-grown spies. I will not throw up my hands, But step close to the deathbed rant, And hear the confessions Of the Select's election; The psalms of prophets Who turned sour, Who get ****** for their greed for power.      *I am he for whom you search,       my manicure suits the crown.       I'm not worthy for such honour,       To be a prince or harlequin clown.       You'll pardon me,        If I misspoke,        But you missed the punchline:        I'm the joke*.
