Bureaucrat
He is a bureaucrat, a haughty party chief.
He is a water rat, a common petty thief.
She is a bureaucrat, a game of deuces wild.
She is a spoiled brat, a problematic child.
He is a bureaucrat, a sassy flamboyance.
He is an irksome gnat, a pesky annoyance.
She is a bureaucrat, a vain civil servant.
She is a vampire bat, a bloodsucking event.
He is a bureaucrat, a detached attitude.
He is a lazy cat, a sluggish lassitude.
She is a bureaucrat, an idiot savant.
She is a buckled chat, a creepy intrigant.
