Once upon a time the civil had a servant
The civil got served and the servant got paid
Then the civil got greedy but the servant got generous
The civil got fat and the servant got lean
The civil got lazy but the servant worked hard
The civil got power and the servant got weak
The civil bore aristocrats as the servant bore children
Head down on a pedestrian walk the children today walk
Head in hand thinking about the month
Divided in four weeks to buffer a system
Round which the children can't work but count weeks
At week one the balancing act begins
Frustrated how to survive the following three
Then spend the three anticipating the first's frustrations
Once upon a time, the civil had servant
A lucky servant today a dogsbody
Amidst the unlucky majority who earn per capita income
