Nomenclature

A leopard can't change it's spots
Nor a cunning man his nature
But to attract more publicity
One can change nomenclature

There's no free time for milords
Can anyone say they're shirking?
They take absolutely no holidays
They are always 'partially working'!

If you spot a Big Chief dozing
Realise he's in fact meditating
Upon post-retirement options
Which in a queue are waiting

Judgments depend on the stars
Outcomes on prayers and gods
Don't you dare ridicule the bhakts
They have won against all odds

A new driver will take top seat
Old one shall exit supreme bus
Rather than ex, former or retired
Nomenclature may be 'Emeritus'!
