The Oligarchs’ Schadenfreude

Every day that passes

Seems more pointless than the last

Ears and eyes shut, but mouths wide open

The noise!

that comes from these monkeys

You wouldn’t believe it

They don’t even know they’re in a cage

At a zoo, mere spectacles

Shouting to the delight of onlookers

Whose pockets are lined, and fists are clenched

I must admit…

This zoo has always made me feel

Terribly Sad
