Politician Perdition

POLITICIAN PERDITION Do you find yourself analytical When it comes to things political Corpulent men in suits and ties Cheat with promises and lies With true intent we go to vote To make choice of ass or goat Labor, Nationals, Libs and Greens Strut their stuff like Kings and Queens Have you met an honest Pollie? Show me one - I'll shout: By Gollie! With their hands deep in our pockets They send taxes up like rockets The grass withers and crops die For feed and water creatures cry While there's water up on Mars And in ‘swamp’s’ well plenished bars! Trump - outsider - stands his ground Trait in Pollies seldom found He treats leaders, lords and Kings Marionettes dangling on strings. Never TelePrompt refined Opens up and speaks his mind Straight from heart and off the cuff Uncut diamond in the rough Mock his lack of history pure Never going to be demure He hits back at thrown insults I care more for his results So let’s give an admonition To bog dwelling politicians ‘Had enough to fill your cup Drink it down! Your time is up!’

Hi Geoffrey. Well, I see you like to write political poems too. And, though I may not agree 'cause I'd rather have a goat than an ass like Trump, I do think you've written a fine poem here.
