Foreign Service Haiku

The Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. Here is an adaption of the haiku, written in the context of the Foreign Service.

The Foreign Service
Is a pretty good lifestyle
All things considered.

Perks like free housing
And a fancy job title
We wouldn't complain....

Say good-bye to friends
The foreign service downside
Its a sad feeling

Descend like locusts
packers take our stuff away
Where's that welcome kit?

New diplomacy
Ambassadors are nothing
the Envoy cometh
