Running for Public Office

I wonder how addled your brain has to be to want to suffer the slinging insults of buffoonery Tv news showing how cartoonery reality has become Each reporter is up to tomfoolery as they dig to the bottom to find something newsworthy like a skeleton hanging in the closet of your nursery Or a pirate lover with scurvy What a pervy They will dig and dig until they find your sin If you didn’t do it they will make it up Like, way back when he was only ten, his great grandfather once stole a watermelon from Farmer Ben. His dad found out and made him work it off in chores made him promise not to do it again but that won’t make the evening news because sensationalism is the only values that matter to us all.

Gem of total truth here, Jerry. And yet, plenty of candidates for most offices. Go figure. ~ gw
