Good Morning, Mister Phelps
The person you’re looking at is
The unelected leader
Of a former world power
Currently in steep decline
Primarily due to the actions
Of this man -
The former leader of a vocal
Opposition group of
Rabble-rousers
Which brought pressure to bear
Leading to the realignment
Of the elected government
Your mission,
Should you decide to accept it,
Is to salvage
Something from this mess,
And somehow make
The people understand
That they have been duped,
The huge mistake
That they have been
Persuaded to make,
And the error of their ways
Before it is too late
And the streets begin to
Run with the blood
Of the innocents
As ever,
Should any of your I.M. Force
Be caught or killed,
The Secretary will disavow
Any knowledge
Of your actions
This tape will self-destruct
In five seconds
Good luck, Jim
Martin A W Holmes, Sept 2016 (with a lot of help from the 1960s writers of "Mission: Impossible")
