BEASTLY TALES

A LEAKY BUSINESS

Politics can be a real mess,
When official business is leaked to the press!
Often questions are raised, quizzically,
As to just who the “leaker” could be?
And, more often than not, the answer they spot,
Is that the leakage came from a top plot.
That is to say, the office of the Prime Minister.
As indicator as to politics sinister!

Yes, the Ship of State, the only ship that leaks from the top!
So very often, you’d think it a flop.
Leaked information, of a sensitive nature,
Can reduce the high and mighty to a very low stature.
A half truth that they reluctantly divulge,
From the top down via a Ship of State bulge.
Such deliberate deception, carefully planned.
Starts up political fires, with their flames fanned.
Such behaviour one should indeed criticize,
Expected, of course, a word from the wise.
Politics, the scoundrels’ last refuge, to be sure,
Underhand behaviour prevalent, has no allure.
Now, if further background you do seek,
You’ll just have to wait, I’m off for a leak!
