MAY DAY!
I blinked at the sight of her goodbye tears
As she turned her back on the watching eyes
And I readily recalled the dismissive sneers
Employed for another audience during her rise;
A great public service that questioned austerity
Fearful of the cost to what had to be done
Disdainfully dismissed with arrogant asperity;
No tears then...when she thought she had won;
But kept instead for her subsequent fate,
As her tenure ran out of political pretend;
Just a great pity we all had to wait
So long and endure the farce to its end.
