Andy

Crawling ambition,
Delayed by religion;
Any shows concern by draping his eyes in platitudes
And soft-focussed care,
Mirroring (as he’s been told) your every move
(Creepy!)
And echoing your words in a long non-judgemental session.
Andy deserves to be hit;
He’s carefully crafted, this shit;
Hides from himself himself.
And piously works towards heaven.

We’ve all met somebody like Andy, who’s been on a course to teach the Politically Correct way to counsel people (mirroring phrases and non-verbal gestures) and who puts on a façade of deep care and concern.

If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of such counselling you’ll know that your reaction is to want to hit the creepy buggers (as soon as you’ve figured out what they’re up to, which only takes a few seconds).

But Andy is religious, and so has to be careful and hide his ambition as he piously walks through life.
