the politician fixes his lie
the spokesman fixes his tie
the musician plays her chords
the construction-man nails his boards
businessmen launch into space
over-proud nations find a new race
the artillery officer neatly salutes
the philosopher neatly refutes
the young girls suck lolli-pops
the older woman shops
for tops, pacifiers, and mops
the judge hands down the sentence
while the pusher plies repentance
magazines sing glossy praises of tools
to readerships of fools
the psychologist smokes his cigar
while the hoodlum cases his car
the conscience-man does his good deed
the gardener pulls her bad weed
the robot fixes the latte
while the newly-weds get naughty
school-children learn how to behave
while the old drinker digs a new grave
