From DR. BOLI’S ALPHABET OF OCCUPATIONS.

P for the Prime Minister, the leader of her nation,
Who runs the state with calm deliberation.
She’s not afraid to speak her mind, or take decisive action,
But hesitates to favor any faction.

“My plans may stir up some debate,” she tells a young reporter.
“I say the days in spring should not get shorter.
My platform calls for night to fall no later than eleven,
And sunrise must be on its way by seven.

“The water in the ocean is required to be quite salty,
And wet, or it will be considered faulty.
And gravity must always pull things in the down direction,
And grass must be proved green upon inspection.

“Now, some of these ideas may be more bold than you expected,
But I’ll do what I must to get my party re-elected.”
