Sorry Is The Easiest Word Poem by Adrian Wait

What have you got to do?
To make me pay back
What can you do?
Has I stay laid back
Sorry is the easiest word

A payoff beyond generous
Smiling I wave goodbye
Pension worse than ludicrous
Crocodile tears I cry
Sorry is the easiest word

No we cannot talk it through
Governments so simplistic
I have what I need thank you
Smiling feigned concern
A sorry mask well worn

Seven hundred thousand
Reasons not to listen
Rewarded for my disloyalty
Milking employees, tax payers
Sorry is the easiest word

A Goodwin for the banker
delivering only losses in return
the little people pay taxes
Never meet them…so who cares
Sorry the easiest word
