EXPERTS REVISITED
Those of us taking the trouble to see
Know that experts don't always agree.
In point of fact, they'll often call out
Other experts - then watch just how they fall out!
They'll be keen to be interviewed
On whatever they deal in
Always seeking a renewed
Chance to invest personal spiel in
Their status as experts beloved by the media
Who produce them like dogs trained to be greedier
And expect the rest of us to rely on their word
But how's that possible when to us it's occurred
They don't seem to know any more than the rest of us
(And even less than those who might be the best of us!).
When it comes to experts I've grown not to believe
The tales of doom and gloom that they weave,
Trotted out it seems at the drop of a hat
To hold forth unreliably about this n'that.
Careful I'm certain they make sure they don't send a
Message that unhelpfully might suggest an "agenda".
Money is the means that enforces their insistence
And lubricates most experts' self-satisfied existence.
