My relationship with government agencies
wasn't always the best
The only reason for that was that
you can't do what you don't practice
Today I'm walking in and out of any office
like a real pro
Finally I feel really at home in
all these bureaucratic channels
Since the day that the
northern main document-processing office
requested via postage:
"Send us immediately
An application form
for an application for issuance
for the confirmation of the invalidity
of the carbon-copy template
with note of validation
from the procurement authority,
For the purpose of submission
at the relevant office of issuance."
Until that day
I didn't even know such a thing existed,
But who'd want to admit that?
So I gathered together what I have
As far papers and documents go
out of the old shoe box
X-rays, free-swim certificate,
parking permit and laundry receipt.
With that, I went to an office,
and of all the doors I picked
The most friendly looking one
and knocked: "G'day, is there
an application form
for an application for issuance
for the confirmation of the invalidity
of the carbon-copy template
with note of validation
from the procurement authority,
For the purpose of submission
at the relevant office of issuance."
"Well..," said the gentlemen at the desk,
"Anything that you like sir."
But I'm just the representative here,
the specialist is on medical leave at a health resort.
The best that I can do,
if it's of any help,
Is hand over this brochure,
"How to Prevent Tooth Decay."
But maybe you should ask the janitor,
they say that he knows his way around here."
And then that's what I did:
"Erm, excuse me, where in this building does one obtain
An application-formulation,
that explains the invalidity
for the submission of the validity...
No, wait! That's mixed-up,
Whose validation office
is in a state of submission...
Anyway, you know what I mean,
a paper like that, do you know where I can get it?"
"Sir, you're in the completely wrong place,
it'd be best if you go
To the transfer office for this municipal area,
on 10 Park Street
in the depreciation department
for the form commission
But you better hurry yourself a little sir,
they close at two.
Say hello
to the janitor there for me,
And then get, on the third floor,
on the right, room 104,
an application form
for an application for issuance
for the confirmation of the invalidity
of the carbon-copy template
with note of validation
from the procurement authority,
For the purpose of submission
at the relevant office of issuance."
At 10 Park Street,
the janitor said: "Ah, it's stupid,
The people in room 104 have
been switching to computers for the past two weeks
And the closest office
that also handles difficult cases
Has been closed since 11,
they're celebrating an anniversary.
Mrs. Schlibrowski is on vacation,
hmm, the only thing left for you to do
Is to try by the new building,
maybe the registry office
still has an application form
for an application for issuance
for the confirmation of the invalidity
of the carbon-copy template
with note of validation
from the procurement authority,
For the purpose of submission
at the relevant office of issuance."
I knocked, stepped inside,
and felt red spots on my face.
A woman was making coffee,
she didn't acknowledge me.
Then she sipped with great relish,
me standing there, smiling like an idiot
And lastly she gave a very large rubber bush
an extensive polishing
I cleared my throat again,
But then I suddenly screamed in a shrill voice
threw myself on the floor,
pounding it with my fists and I whined: "I want
my application form
for an application for issuance,
For the confirmation of the invalidity
of the carbon-copy template
who's validation, ahhh, you know what,
you rusted fork you,
kindly nail your fucking form
to your own knee."
Sobbing I crawled out the door,
lay there twitching,
When the file courier lifted me up friendly
on his file cart and
gently pushed me through the halls,
giving me some sympathy and courage.
"We're rolling over to the infirmary
everything will be alright.
I just gotta drop off a box of forms
at the building's post office.
Would you please stand up for a second,
you're actually sitting on them.
-
It's a batch of old forms,
they're goin' back to the main administration office,
There they'll be mulched,
they're completely unnecessary
-
Application forms
for an application for issuance
for the confirmation of the invalidity
of the carbon-copy template
with note of validation
from the procurement authority,
For the purpose of submission
at the relevant office of issuance."
