HIS HEAVINESS
His Heaviness ascended the creaky podium,
He had to address a political meeting,
Though he disliked the dreadful tedium,
He had to do it, though he preferred eating.

If elected- he thundered- "We will banish
poverty,"
"And what else, you cloth head?" He demanded
in an angry whisper -of his harassed secretary.
"Corruption?" "Ah yes! Corruption!" he gleefully added.

Alas! When he waited for applause, there was
silence!
"Why, why?"He demanded an answer from the harassed.
"The pre-paid crowd is economy class, no add- ons;
for applause, whistling and so on, need extra money."

"Upgrade immediately," roared he,
"you son of an oaf!"
Then the required phone call was made in real hurry,
The crowd now cheered, bringing down the roof.
His Heaviness was happy, could go home and have curry.
