Hark! Hark! Commuter Song

Hark!  Listen!  Do you hear it?  Commuter song rings through the bus. 

I hear the sweet-cynical laughing chitter-chatter of jovial workers traveling to the Federal mines, endless warrens of office after office after office, sunless caves they burrow into day after day.  In the dark recesses, word-mining functionaries hammer, chip, pick, blast, searching for veins of bureaucratic ore, hoping and striving to extract nuggets, spoonfulls even, of precious government jewels, shining policies, procedures, and pronouncements, regulatory treasure to last a lifetime.

About literarylee

I sling words for a living. Always have, always will. Some have been interesting and fun; most not. These days, I write the fun words early in the morning before the adults are up and make me eat my Cream of Wheat.
