Loyalty
Listen to poem:
You studied and learned all that you could
The exams that you passed
the knowledge you have stored.
You talked to your students.
You asked them to listen and learn.
Then politics beckoned
you made speeches sent leaflets
and promised the earth.
You said you would listen and learn.
You would back up the people
be there voice in the house.
You collected the x's
piled up the votes .
You won the election by 47 votes.
the green benches they beckoned
the promise’s you broke
I’m a member of parliament
I will vote on what I want.
Well I’m an elector don’t forget me
I will teach you a lesson
All About loyalty.
