You forget the cabin boy climbing the greasy pole, using daggers in the backs of those that still have souls….
Sorry to intervene but this is something close to my heart.
I can define meritocracy as a charter for the arse kisser and back stabber, driving the worlds destruction. Thankyou Unbolt I loved this. And I imagined it being read by Mr Krabs lol! Ahar!

You’re right, I did forget that, zigzagstripes. I shouldn’t leave out the cabin boy next time! As for arse kissers and back stabbers, I think you’re spot on there. It’s a pretty ugly culture that encourages that sort of behaviour, don’t you think? Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

I agree this reminded me of Lewis Carroll as well. A great poem Tony and sadly so so true.

Ah, this one merits many kudos… I sea we’re swimming in the same stream of thought; where’s my sharkskin suit? And the commodities, too! But I may already be gutted and ready for the shute ~ definitely no cash or kisses! 😉

I’m glad you liked this one, Babe. It beggars belief that the majority still think we can continue the way we have without there being any serious consequences for society and our planet in general.

I am an ex-smoker. I quit on February 3rd, 2014 after 35 years of smoking. Put it out and walked away. It puzzled me a little bit, so I started blogging and it went from there 🙂

And I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never read a Lewis Carroll book. I really ought to rectify that! Thanks so much, writeon48! 😀
