Blank Look About Face

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 in the tail

The mob drinks in praise

The mob's wit wanes

The mob deflates

The mob's displaced

The mob's contained
