“Looser Rules”

Looser rules
falling through
fractious wise cracks
after planning huge rallies
while scrambling
rat-a-tat-tat to reprimands
getting corrected on air
score-settling being forecasted
as casualties of falling short
of a winning majority
tweaking surfaces and sneezes
yielding unexpected features
during millions of lab procedures
pleading on bended knee
needled needlessly...
