EPO Oversight

EPO oversight
'Oversight'



Summary: Some poetry about the awful state of the EPO, whose abuses are facilitated by a total lack of oversight

Justice delayed Or justice denied For two months Nobody complied



Timeliness first Customer always right Staff always wrong With 6 million euros we fight

Hey hi, dear Campinos Negotiation genius Negotiating bonuses For you and your minions

Innovation is patents Without patents it ain't inventive 30k euros per patent For poor nations not a single incentive

Puff pieces for Holmes For Corcoran just hit pieces Fake honours for the doyen No evidence of theses

Votes for champagne Undercover campaign Paving the way To an 8-year reign

Immunity por moi The son wants it too His grandpa fought imperialism His daddy completed a coup

Administrative Coun-Sell How quickly you fell Enabling a coup For the institution to be Hell

Breton Commission Bemoaning attrition Burying the evidence The primary mission

EPO the best Be my guest Over 'ViCo' of course Justice will rest
