The Magician Politician

There once was a great politician 
Who was also an outstanding magician 
His act was first class 
As he disappeared up his own ass
It always brought a standing ovation.

*This limerick is dedicated to all those fine representatives of the people who say one thing and do the exact opposite whilst holding their constituents in contempt.
