Today’spoem

The rarest thing in all the world

Is salty and it’s wet;

But I am just surmising Since nobody’s seen it yet. For film crews and photographers

Have tried in vain to get A picture of that marvel Known as civil servant sweat. Now rumour says it manifests

When servants face the sack,

Or work from home is threatened

And the office wants them back.

But in the Civil Service There is zero chance of that.

And if the sweat was ever seen,

They’d mark it with a plaque!
