Notes About The Poem

Not just politicians but people in general. Don't trust completely what you can't see.

Politicians

When one slaps your back,
He tries to help you swallow,
What he just told you.

Oh how - true love this Senryu - for me most politicians are suspect they should have an academy, how to be a President, A senator, A prime Minister or a Mayor! There should be a degree ' how to be a politician!' Great write, Blessings and hugs, Jennifer

So clever, Judy, and certainly true of most politicians. When friends tell me they don't like the choices so they don't plan to vote, I remind them that those who don't vote have no reason to complain afterward. Definitely a fave for me, Judy! Hugs, Carolyn

Hi Judy. The funny part to me, is WE vote for them and grouse, afterwards,)!! One has to not listen to their words but do our own background checks, do not listen to newscasters who further their sayings. Also, do not vote is an option. Voting since I was 16" every primary,every general election.Worked on many elections.. never vote one party. That's a ton of decades. Pangie xx
