(Pastiche – metaphorical war)
To-day we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had introduction. And to-morrow morning,
We shall have what to do after theory. But to-day,
To-day we have naming of parts. The plot lacks,
it needs to be redefined,
And to-day we have naming of parts.
This is the yearly employment graph. And this
Is the evaluation statistics, whose use you will see,
When you are given your graphs. And this is the unemployment statistics,
Which in your case you have not got. The characters
pursue all shortcomings, no development,
Which in our case we have not got.
This is the tax records, which are always close by
with an easy click of a finger. It is simple,
there is no need to complicate it. You can do it quite easy
If you have any analytical sense. The setting
lacks ideas and mesmerizing depth. Indeed,
there is no need to complicate it.
And this you can see is the accounting papers. The purpose of this
Is to discover a correlation , you see. We can compare it to tax records,
both from past calculations and prognoses: we call this
fine-tuning your book. Past calculations and prognoses,
The characters are fleshed out, creating the story for you,
They call it fine-tuning your book.
They call it fine-tuning your book: it is perfectly easy
If you have any analytical sense: like the tax records,
And the accounting, and the monthly finances, and the unemployment statistics,
Which in our case we have not got; and the story plot,
with the characters placed in the setting and ambiguously built up,
For to-day we have naming of parts.
Great idea to have accounting and literature at war. I like the moment when the word 'book' becomes a shifter between the two worlds and terminologies. This is an example of a text in-between pastiche and parody.
