The Opportunist

s/he’ll stand for just what you want her/too, s/he’ll pull out all the stops, s/he’ll stay up all day & night to gain another ballot box, s/he’ll visit towns & villages that no one knows exist, s/he’ll bow down, suck off, kiss up, bend over, as long as the election s/he wins. s/he takes on many faces s/he’s new & improved, comfortable & old fashioned--- s/he’s as hip as you need her/him to be, s/he’s as comfortable & quaint (like mash potatoes, ice cream & all comfort foods of the self-pity-alone-on-a-weekend- night can produce)--- s/he’s the friend you’ve always known, s/he’s the famous one you envy, s/he’s the key to all your happiness & if you don’t think so right now, s/he will convince you quickly. s/he says everything that YOU want to, so that you don’t need to get off the couch, s/he is as photogenic as a supermodel or as ugly as the Grouch--- for what it takes to win your faith in this crippled & corrupt system, is nothing but a moment of your time & a voice for you to listen.
