How doth the busy little bee
prepare for flower power,
so honey garnered, daily spree,
may wax - no waning hour ?
.
The answer’s plain as plain can be,
hive votes for poll_en_dower,
for feathered nests with polity
Reps wait to line their bower.
.
Those set up in authority
elected seem to scour,
for “cash and carry” not to be
declared - gold's welcome shower.
.
As Tweedle Dum[b] and Tweedle Dee
In, Out, Out, In, they lobby,
when crime’s unmasked, like rats we see
them scuttle, scatter, cower.
.
Once thought of pristine ivory
a mirage proves their tower,
packed jokers under lock and key
we bankroll though we glower.
.
Was Weldon’s seniority
well done ? the joke turns sour.
The verdict of posterity –
twelve years, repentance dour.
.
But most escape the legal see,
themselves enrich, empower,
but who, who cast first stone, are we
who fellow-men devour ?
Turk and Terc... An Austrian physician, Dr. TERC, prescribes bee-stings as a cure for rheumatism
