The Wall

There were ten politicians All seated on a wall From varied political parties With their manifesto they hope to enthrall If one doesn't convince the voters Then he will surely fall There'll be nine politicians Left sitting on that wall We now have nine politicians All seated on a wall One says he's for equality and equal pay for all His campaign speech reveals his prejudice So he is sure to fall Eight politicians left All seated on the wall One hasn't declared multiple houses and cars So he's the next to fall Seven politicians left All seated on the wall One hasn't paid his taxes The others knew and watch him fall Six politicians left All seated on a wall One's corrupt dealings are exposed And the media tells all Five politicians left All seated on a wall One wants to speak up for the homeless But he doesn't have the gall Four politicians left All seated on the wall One's caught fixing all his votes His number of supporters is quite small Three politicians left All seated on the wall One is fiddling the system In his stately home he counts his haul Two politicians left Both seated on the wall One hasn't many followers And he was sure to fall One politician left Seated on the wall He believes in helping his voters And for his constituents he'll give his all He's a real man of the people Who believes in equality for all A hard-working and honest man Who deserves to sit on that wall
