Holding Onto a Bar Of Soap With Oiled Hands

They are brilliant and notorious,
For coming up with the best excuses...
You will ever hear,
From their mouths to your ears.
And with incredible conviction,
You will ever witness.

But making any attempt,
To hold them accountable...
For things done they do,
Is like observing someone holding onto...
A bar of soap with oiled hands,
And hopping on one foot chewing gum.

'I've never seen that done.'
