POEM STARTER

Submitted by Elowyn Abernathy

Write an ode, but make it sarcastic.

An ode is a poem that normally focuses on a subject in a positive and glorifying light. Think about how you'll make the tone obviously sarcastic.

Ode To Bureaucracy

Nothing drives one crazy

Quite like bureaucracy.


You’re so devilish

Even spelling you is a…

Rich.


Everyone raves about your role at the DMV!

Oh, they hate it? Nah, couldn’t be!


The systems of government without you would feel oh so cheapened,

I mean, what would we do without the politicians whose pockets you deepen?


We all just love all your red tape,

And the taxes you enable feel kinda like…

Great.


Oh, but without them, how would we build roads, what would we do?!

We surely couldn’t do it better and cheaper, in a way that excludes you!


Everyone loves your paperwork, gotta cross those i’s, and dot those t’s!

I love it almost as much as I love paying for your unnecessary fees.


But let’s be eco friendly, and do it online!

The buggy programming definitely wouldn’t make anyone consider committing war crimes.


Please don’t take my words as being said rudely,

But I believe this Ode perfectly encapsulates your beauty.
