Dream Or Nightmare
Dream or Nightmare
Written: by Tom Wright
(My Opinion)
Tumbling around all night has left me feeling knackered,
I dreamed of political faces on a Post Office placard.
I could have said exhausted but that wouldn’t impress,
But being tired was the narrative, I mustn’t digress.
To me, some politicians, are like hogs at a trough,
Forever rooting and squealing for a share of the quaff.
Each wanting the most while sometimes doing least,
But I suppose that’s become the nature of the beast.
They routinely bicker, accomplishing little worthwhile,
always in front of a camera flashing a cardboard smile.
Genuine smiles might portray that things weren’t serious,
and God forbid that constituents might become delirious.
By trading handouts for votes they extend their career,
Term limits is the answer to this problem that’s drear.
My opinion counts for nothing
but now I feel so much better. LOL
Tom
