Nightporters and calipers (a poem)

Making bizarre connections out of things that are not connected…

Nightporters and calipers
have nothing in common
they’re just interesting words to put together

There aren’t many things like that
you can put together without complications
people used to say that we needed someone in office
who would run the country more like a business

Then they made it happen—
and look what happened

Unfortunately, they failed to specify what kind of business
so they picked the most corrupt business possible
where every day is fraught with intrigue and drama
and more SEC investigators than you can shake a stick at

Seriously—
look what happened

Nightporters and calipers
have nothing in common
they’re just interesting words to put together

and would probably be a damn sight better
at running the country
than the mook in charge now
