A group of goons
opted to pause
and let a stranger
hijack their insignia
to be the lord and
manage their shady shop
basking in fake glory
propelled by sycophants
With the hiatus over
the minions get busy belittling
the miserably failed management
carrying a lopsided balance sheet,
where liabilities outweigh the assets
Finding no more crumbs
the cronies disappear
and the original goons
realizing their mistake
want to reclaim the shop
and re-establish
the shady business
all over again
