508 - The Department of silly talk

The usual Friday, casually dressed,
Just winding down, writing this at lunchtime.
I wouldn’t say this job causes me stress:
In fact we all chat or eat, half the time.
The boss should really see this as a crime,
But the boss is also very laid back.
Besides, we don’t need to make one thin dime,
Or rather, any pennies; effort’s slack.
This government department’s on the rack
For inefficiency. It’s no business,
Though it calls itself one from time to time.
Its so-called customers cannot go back
And come as they please; they’re under duress;
They must pay the right tax at the right time.
