Turn the page on sages, five smudges
From such long-winded fudges,
A dank, dark morning of drudges.
And one who hopefully trudges,
Setting aside all past grudges,
To witness that the law budges,
No, no straw for him who lunges,
So in fresh gloom he now plunges.
And if, in future, society sledges
Them (he and his partner), edges
To despair, depression, sludges,
Then the majority that indulges
In these oft-repeated expunges
From a civility that pre-arranges
Who wins, loses, who deranges,
Lock that majority in the granges
So they learn how much it hurts.
