The Dastardly Zachary

Let me relate the tale of Zachary
Who was employed to oversee
The mill stones at the communal granary
This was a grand achievement for Zachary
Who began his working life as a lowly stacker and packer
But such was his vanity
Some said his insanity
That to rise ever higher in the granary hierarchy
Was Zachary’s all-absorbing fantasy
His detractors claimed his promotion after promotion
Came to him supernaturally
Others sniffed and labelled his dealings dastardly
For in this ‘all for one, one for all’ community
Zachary was an adherent of anarchy.
