The above question was referred to Professor Isosceles Vilikazi of
Nyamndhlovu, the well-known inventor, academic and political observer, who
provided the following reply, indicating, with a chuckle, that he could have
done better, but preferred to do verse.
WHAT IS A POLITBURO?
Fear not my friend, you're not alone
The use of it is quite unknown
Experts, boffins, specialists
Have pondered long and hard on this
"Politburo?" What use has it?
Perhaps a spade for shovelling shit?
Or is it more an "abstract" term
Descriptive of the minds of worms?
Perhaps a meeting of the classes
Generally known as silly arses?
Whate'er it is, it is no shame
To have no knowledge of the name
"Politburo". For geni-usses
Smarter much by far than us is
Suffered bouts of indigestion
Pondering this very question.
It seems to be a group of gents
Of limited intelligence
Selected for their loyalty
To ZANU, not reality.
Their gatherings are typified
By boozing till they're stupified
While down their gullets they are rammin
Caviare and Scottish Salmon.
Once they're pissed, they claim the sense
To dictate all the government's
Decisions, and we can be sure
That what comes out is pure manure.
And when the jolly session ends
They go home by Mercedes Benz.
Tis clear that "Politburos" are
An easy way to own a car
To live a life of luxury
While all the rest, in poverty,
Must hold their peace, and think they owe
Their lives to the "Politburo"
Well, that's okay for now, but wait
Till Peter gets them at the Gate.
