Lament of the Federal Employee's Spouse
 
When first we met, I would have bet
That you had great potential
But now I know that isn't so
For you are non-essential.
 
I turned your head, your ego fed
With treatment preferential
But now it seems those were but dreams
For you are non-essential.
 
If you could sing a song like Sting
Or gab like Walter Winchell
Then there'd be cause for my applause
But you are non-essential.
 
That I'd find out there was no doubt
Discovery was eventual
But though it's queer, my furloughed dear
To me you're STILL essential.

—Leigh Buchanan
