technocat
the central banker
was technically
a technocrat
but in professional circles
was simply known
as ‘technocat’
her name was katie
but her friends
called her betty
known to line ‘em up
and knock ‘em down
every saturday night
on occasion
she’d end up missing
for a day or three
only to return to the glee
of the other technos
relying on her expertise
