Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Political Chicanery

Political Chicanery
By Franklin Price
8/20/1015

Political chicanery
Are spoken words I say
Slightly bending of the truth
Is the politician's way

If uttered words can scrambled be
To turn the meaning 'round
I think I can quite manage
To pound them in the ground

Excuse me while I practice
Take time to coalesce
I haven't done a thing at all
For which I must confess

Contrarily I did it all
Made everything so good
Made no missteps  along the way
Did everything I should

No one ever helped me
Bipartisan with my foes
Confronted every problem
From my head down to my toes

Everywhere I fixed it all
Made everything first rate
Now my run for President
Brings my stumping to your state

Give me your nod when voting
I'll guarantee you won't regret
I'll continue fixing everything
Leave it to me and do not fret

I'll always be there for you
You'll never be alone
You know I'll do the best for you
As I rule you from my throne
