Ship of State?

(for Asha and Michael)
 

Party’s

out

of punch

Captain’s

Out

to lunch

No one

has

A Clue

Least of

all

The Crew
 
*
 
Boat’s long

Adrift

Current

sure

is swift
 

Iceberg

up

ahead?

Then here

comes

the crunch
 
*
 
Moral

Compass

missing

Up at

the very

helm

The

Big Brash

Lie

is New

the Realm
 
*
 
Stricken

like

Titanic

Far from

native

shore

We sink

like

Atlantis

Never to

rise

No more
