Confidante
Here goes a breach
of a piss-weak pact
Upright, On-point,
staunch subordinate
Blank look, about-face
Sycophant
Trade plaudits neat
and matter-of-fact
Flatter in a charismatic haze
Blank look, about-face
Elective confidante,
Adopted sycophant
Poised to sweep the cynics away
Blank look, about face
Clear the ground!
Clear the ground for a drunken
power melee
The mob is phased
Clear the ground for a weakening
sting the tail
The mob drinks in praise
The mob's wit wanes
The mob deflates
The mob's displaced
The mob's contained
