Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were Brief, Expose and Insist.
Mandate? Blind date!
It was lost, more than being won,
A voter’s stern protest.
Now they insist they have a mandate
And expose their hairy chests,
And scare the people living there.
Too late, they recoil in disbelief.
The marriage — an arranged one,
The honeymoon was brief.

ReplyDeleteMandate is a word which I have grown to dislike intensely. No, sunshine, you didn't get a mandate to do everything just as you want it done with no discussion. Or information. Or heaven forbid, consultation. Sigh.
reminds me of agent Smith from the Matrix. ~

ReplyDeleteA sad situation.
