Spin-Doctors

Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath
  though many are quite loath
to try to save older folk --
  They view the oath as a joke

Politicians also take an oath
  A 'Hypercritical Hypocritical' Vow
To blast anyone who dares ask why
  He should believe their outright lies

G'day Gershon ... you do realize the truth is hard to swallow for those who rant daily on untruths. It hurts to be caught out - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Perfection is beyond our grasp, of course... Then again we don't want to be 'perfectly imperfect' either! Cheers, Gershon

"Hypercritical Hypocritical" vow - this explains a lot!

Seeing the 'HH vow' in your comment makes me think that it's a bit 'Hyperbolic!' Oh, well... Thanks for the help with this, Caren! :) gw
