A Poem: “After Hours”

 

I wonder if Cabinet members

and opposition leaders

get together in a local pub

at the end of Question Period

to celebrate another successful day

at the workplace.

 

Their daily show

perfectly delivered;

audience is kept excited,

engaged,

satisfied.

 

I deserve to know;

I am the one paying for it.
