SEA CUCUMBERS

This is a poem about bosses who flirt with their subordinates. The piece is based on real life corporate scandal at one broadcasting company in Malawi.

When despotic execs corrupt

Un’abstemious sanities interrupt

Or who beheld

Sea cucumbers in the bureaus sprout?

For should the decorous set the sea cucumbers

to the display

Shenanigans the pageant do them dismay

Or who beheld

The sea cucumbers in the bureaus decay?

When the frenzied hankerings delude

All bray sombre letter’ resonate to spell ‘exclude'

Or who beheld

Corporate scandals in the bureaus preclude?

For should the vestiges be unceasingly

disloyal to the whole

The holothurians flanked by the haunches core

Or who beheld

The shenanigans in the bureaus preserve the chore?

So,

When the sea cucumbers go for the display

The shenanigans aren't restrained

While on the slack the corporate scandals go;

to fail ‘nd overplay.
