Paper Trails
Aug 5 2026
Just follow the money
— the moolah, lucre, scratch
greenbacks and lolly
Grease their palm
wet their beak
slip a little sweetener.
Don’t be shy
with the baksheesh, boodle, or bung
— the usual bribe
along with the wink of an eye
and surreptitious nod.
Because it’s all greed
and shameless shenanigans.
Sure, you can’t take it with you,
but while you can
indulge in every luxury
corruption be damned.
And if there is an afterlife
and everlasting judgement
you’ll just talk your way out.
Because the pearly gates are a fraud
and St. Paul can be bought
like everyone else;
if not with gold or T-bills
than with silver-tongued lies
and phoney contrition.
No one is innocent
we all have our price.
Just a quick fun one. More wordplay than serious cynical social commentary. Because I’m not quite this cynical. At least not yet!
