TEN PUBLIC SERVANTS
 
(A cautionary poem for our times)
 
* Ten Public Servants standing in a line; One of them was downsized then there were nine.

 * Nine Public Servants who must negotiate; One joined the union then there were eight.

 * Eight Public Servants thought they were in heaven; 'til one of them was redeployed then there were seven.

 * Seven Public Servants, their jobs as safe as bricks; But one was reclassified then there were six.

 * Six Public Servants trying to survive; One of them was privatised, then there were five.

 * Five Public Servants ready to give more; But one Golden Handshake reduced them to four.

 * Four Public Servants full of loyalty; Their jobs were all advertised then there were three.

 * Three Public Servants under review; One left on secondment then there were two.

 * Two Public Servants coping on the run; One went on stress leave then there was one.

 * The last Public Servant agreed to relocate; Replaced by 10 consultants at twice the hourly rate.
