Busy
Saturday snuck in
With the rest of the days
Of the week,
Weeks that were
Getting slower and slower
As the months dragged on,
Oh clerks said they were busy,
But that’s the risk of doing figure
Eights, dusting, cleaning, polishing,
Re-arranging old displays to look new,
Not realizing that cash flow is king,
Perhaps not wanting to think about
The thing that pays the wages,
Busy is like government stats
So easy to paint the illusion
Of whatever the mind
Wants to see.
