A Sleepy Bodyguard
A sleepy bodyguard searched, chose and set
Best seat for the honorable guest
Carefully observing, he saw dirt
Decidedly he removed the chair
Express like a jet, the guest landed on floor
Funny again; he looked in the bag and
Gave the boss a prepared speech to present
Honorable in delight began to read
In the mid-way he noted;
Joke-less, a poem penned by a pupil for a test
Kept as secret it could not
Laughter and booing rocked the room
Majority demanded for dismissal of the bodyguard
Next day- an irony! He was promoted to high rank
Of General and appointed national security chief
