In this rough economy
Private enterprise is downsizing
Companies and businesses
Are doing more with less
Like musical chairs, take away a chair
Someone has to leave
However, with the government
Local, State, and Federal
Instead of taking away a chair
They add a chair
Enough is never enough
'More Gruel, Sir'
Great poem of what's been happening all over the country. I also have been a victim of downsizing and being told after 15 years that my job was adsorbed to save the company money. Not a fun time for anyone. Someone had to take on my responsibilities and duties. Overworked and underpaid.
A cutting, satirical poem about bureaucracy. I am interested to know that you worked forty-one years in federal service. A very long time.

I would like to translate this poem
The strength here is that you know from experience what you are writing about. 'Enough is never enough'.
