MANTRA

At the ministerial address

three grey men destined to unimpress.

 

We're supposed to hang on their every word

watch the towers and surf the waves

of graphs, learn how one best behaves. 

 

Deeper drawn into the patently absurd. 

Facts and figures impressive comparisons

salutary words of warning. 

 

Overture and beginners please

the stage is set for the ill at ease. 

Whenever the three tenors sing

 

Mantra counts for everything.

Thanks for liking Stephen A and Kishore, most grateful.

Some of that data is now coming in for close scrutiny by people outside the inner sanctum, peeling back the layers of received policy wisdom. So thanks for being onboard for this Brian, Stephen G , Paul and Mark.

"Experts" emerge in all shapes and sizes
But there's one thing that seldom surprises:
The suspicion that they're out to impress
That leaves us wondering how much is a guess! ?

Unimpress is a great word.

We used to tune in nightly to hear the deaths figure, then turnover for The Chase.
