Ah yes, Paul, the differences between American English and English English can cause rhyming confusion. :)

Please forgive my pronunciation of clerk, I’m English. (Not stuck-up English just plain old English) :-)

There once was a government clerk
who was just a bit slow off the mark
he didn’t do much
except sit on his butt
and treated it all like a lark

There once was a government clerk
Who was known to brag with a smirk
He’d pompously proclaim
“Sloth isn’t my aim,
To shirk work, is simply a quirk.”

There once was a woman named June
Went skinny-dipping on a hot afternoon,
Such a feeling sublime!
She lost track of time
When she emerged, she looked like a prune.

There once was a government clerk
Who said single payer works.
Just like Medicare
All seniors share
In the risk where no profits lurk.

Actually, I think this is better:

There once was a government clerk
Who daily completed his work.
The work? Quite banal.
And at his locale
The stench of the dead could not irk.

There once was a government clerk,
Who never wanted to work.
He sat there all day,
And just wanted to play.
But that was just one of his quirks.

There once was a government clerk
So loyal, she did nothing but work
Then the GOP took aim
All their followers laid blame
She was ruined because they went berserk
