Senator

She spoke to the General with a brilliant career
Spoke to him like he was dirt
She wanted to be called senator. She earned it
But she wasn’t worth the sweat on his shirt
Definitely she deserved to be called senator
Ma’am is reserved for a superior
Senator is a member of an elitist organization
As a human beings they are inferior
They do not serve, they think they rule
And it sometimes fills me with rage
Senators have made the most dangerous job
Becoming an intern or a page
Their booze parties are legendary
They have careers that are built on lies
Yes, she should be called senator
Someone we should despise
When the General passes by I salute
Holding it proudly as long as he would linger
When the Senator passes by in her parade
I would proudly display my middle finger.

An amusing write Vince, Lol. I am not going to say which senator came to my mind when I was reading this. Smile. Thanks for your gracious comments today. Many think that Palin won't every do any good, but you know if you read the bible, and I think you do, that love(God)never fails, I think Love is with her. Too much effort put forth trying to destroy her! Sincerely, Moses

It's so sad and disrespectful where many ordinary people get elected to office, and they instantly forget where they came from, excellent piece Vince >>James
