You slugs, you sloths, you worse br Than insensible things, br Who will not do as is so br Urgently needed - how br Shall I dislodge you br From your barnacle-like attachments br And goad you toward br Our oh-so-badly needed objectives? br I who cannot roar, as I would br But must humbly beg attention, br Choking with frustration br With smarting tears of grief in my eyes, br Appeal to whatever pride you have br And the goodness of heart God gave you br Please, please, please release br This client from interminable wait; br Give him the document required br And let him say to his wife: br ‘At last, it's finished! Now, br In our bed at night we can relax br And sleep to gain our strength against tomorrow.
