.4. Tin Pot Officials Poem by David Threadgold

Some tin pot officials
They can’t take your word
Must have things in writing
This seems quite absurd?

The info they need
Is there on a screen
But it must be on paper
Or else it’s not seen

Why don’t they believe us?
Without even trying
Because it’s not written
Must we all be lying?

You can’t even sign forms
Without your initials
Before being accepted
By some tin pot officials
