Broad-minded

My name doesn’t tell if I’ve got Some meaningly posh coat of arms I didn’t contribute to national lot But maybe I did for the arts I don’t criticize politicians It must be the easiest job Yet I never praise politicians For this is a job of a yob So I’m a bit jobless you see Hope you can guess that I am An artist of air and the sea A painter of skies and the land This doesn’t imply that I stand for The land that I thouroughly see Political people can love it much more With pleasure I gladly concede I’m not patriotic since childhood I haven’t changed in this regard But this doesn’t mean that I would Deem jingoes as utter retards Some folks are ok being homebound Some other prefer rock and roll And some will keep silent about it I’ve equal respect for them all To meet me you will not regret My broad-minded soul plays no game You’d think of me:”haven’t we met? But I can’t remember his name”.
