Nuclear age deserves a special red tape reason,
ways to postulate the kinks in bureaucratic flow
if mushroom clouds show appear
and citizens suddenly risk being vaporized.
Stout hearted minds of civil service erudition
worked so hard to form sensitive and thoughtful solutions
to be sure the cogs of government
don't rust or cease even if cities are in rubble
with nightly auras from radiation's infection.
Never fear the lost of procedures is what they say,
for they have a system to be sure
mail gets delivered without delay,
"dead" letter office special sanctuary
for patriots turned vapors.
Income taxes will continue
they saw no need to allow deductions
for houses lost to nukes,
proudly confident that economy will quickly recharge
even if most of the workers have be exterminated.
Because why should a rain in hydrogen bombs
be allowed to dampen the spirit of freedom
or the implementation of our founding fathers
administrative structure for protecting the public's welfare?
Ah, the simplicity, the rapture in those hallowed halls
of realms that agencies diligently toil to serve,
which are democracy's vanguards
in legislative enforcement,
who could in such cavalier reason
decide the horror of such a war
could be overcome with stapler, faxes
and efficiency in stamp usage.
