Save us from those scientists and lawyers
Who take up more and more of our time
With make believe/once upon a time stories
That border on being a crime!
They make a very good living
By raising doubts foisted upon us
More geared to taking than giving -
Po-faced and plausible as they con us.

Ah...I could have written "Deadpan" but it wouldn't have worked as
well. The expression I did use is an old one - a diminutive of "poker face<d>". With respect, it's been around
even longer than you, Po ! ?
On reading po-faced (Comment prior)
I knew that he would bite
On seeing this within your verse
A comment he would write
Yep....He couldn't resist MC....

Thanks for the kind comment Po. It's pleasing to think our posts and
comments might provide some ease and comfort for others whilst
not losing sight of the main object of poetry: getting people thinking
...in and out of the box.
