Our love is a rusted institution

Our love is a rusted institution
and I’m tired of being taxed to keep it going
The gates used to swing both ways
but corrosive elements make it hard to pry open these days
The staff is despicably unfriendly
“Hello! Can I get some help here?” (Really, it’s rhetorical when you have to shout it down the empty halls)
Much has been spent on renovation
that’s been no more than cosmetic
The structure itself is crumbling
Not just the walls but the filing system is purely medieval
Information gets lost and no one is held accountable
“Utterly inefficient & ineffective” – Stamp that on your permanent report
I would recommend we shut it down and sell off the assets
but what here is worth the cost of advertising?
Better this I say, let’s burn it
The insurance won’t pay much
but strategically speaking – it’s a cut your losses
and get out while you can kind of deal
