Is It Working? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I take full responsibility,
For the dire turn of currents events.

'Whew!
That's a relief.
But...
You were not in the picture.
Or near it.
When these events were initiated.'

Sssshhh.
Don't tell anybody.
I want to take the opportunity,
To make fools out of them.

'But what about your credibility? '

Hey...
What can I say?
As long as I can keep them,
Embarrassing themselves...
Why should I mind,
The public finds them to be fools?
And using me to blame,
Is a point I no longer have to make.
It is obvious and clear.

'I don't 'think' this is a good strategy.'

Is it working?

'Yes!
But...'

Is it working?

'Very effectively.'
