What is funny about that
To make a song and laugh out loud
Ask the politician if he gets offended
When he is called names; names? how rude
For what he does best; promises to change the world
Lets just sweep the rest under the carpet
Tidy up a bit, give that perception
Hide our differences and short falls
They will all be gone soon, farewell
We can get back to normality as a community
Just like they do, when we go and visit
Tradition demands it
And society does not object
Perception is enough to live by

ReplyDeletefairly certain i commented on this one the other day...hard to tell with comment mod i do remember at least reading it...thanks for playing at TT and enjoy reading some of the other participants....
ReplyDeleteHad to read it twice, but then I really got it. Really, really got it and the satire is delicious.
ReplyDeleteWell done!! Happy TT!
perception is not enough to live by...politicians are good at making promises but all they end up being is hot air on a summer day...they will be gone soon, ha, a revolving door...thanks for pointing out that this was a series...and i appreciated the email dialogue today as well man...sounds like you had a great trip...
ReplyDeleteIt always helps to remember that politicians are only as good as the people that vote for them. I enjoyed the poem.
ReplyDeleteVery nice take...I guess its all perception when we vote politicians. But then again, i think it depends on the voters or community ~ You get what or who you deserve ~
