Standards

Your polished shoes
will provide a reflection
that will easily pass
a critical inspection.


Your trousers
will exhibit a crease
sharp enough to please
a 1950s Grammar School headmaster.


Your hair
will be shorn short,
back and sides,
so that we know you’re the right sort.


And if a nail brush
has not been used
on those grubby nails
of yours, well,


there will be hell
to pay and (do I
really have to spell
this out?) of course


you must wear a tie.
At all times! That you
even have to ask
is grounds for exclusion.
